    <p>I thought I&#8217;d put this here so I don&#8217;t forget.  When you&#8217;re patching fixtures on the Avolites Pearl Expert you&#8217;ve got to pick a manufacturer, then a fixture.  However there&#8217;s around 200 manufacturers, and the screen only displays 5 at a time.  The trick is to check the number in the corner of the box by each manufacturers name.  If you type that number in it will take you to the right screen, saving a lot of button pushing.  It doesn&#8217;t take you directly to the fixtures because new manufacturers are springing up all the time, so the numbers will change.</p>


	<p>The same trick works when choosing fixtures as well.</p>
