Presets are stored presettings of parameters. They allow fast access and standardized usage. 

These presettings can be:

- **Universal: **\
  Universal settings, abbreviated as **U**, apply to all fixtures types that contain the corresponding attributes. 

 

- **Global:**\
  Global settings, abbreviated as **G**, apply to the corresponding fixture types. 

 

- **Selective:**\
  Selective settings, abbreviated as **S**, apply to single fixtures. 

**Hint:**\
Make sure to use presets when programing as this facilitates your work, especially when working with a show which is used in different locations and for various customers.
