The area on the right-hand side of the Fixture Editor serves as a preview while editing. The upper part shows a graphical model of the fixture. The pixel or voxel belonging to the currently selected channel is highlighted with the specified color and visually aligned. Additionally, the lower part summarizes all information [channels, colors, positions, values, types, and names] of this pixel/voxel. The preview is updated every time you edit the fixture profile.
