The numeric keys are the keys numbered 0 through 9.

They are used for selection of fixtures and to assign values and a lot of other situation where you need to type a number..

### For example:

Selecting fixture one:

Fixture 1 Please

Selecting two fixtures:

Fixture 1 + 2 Please

Selecting a range of fixtures:

Fixture 1 Thru 5 Please

Selecting a range taking one fixture out and give the rest 50%:

Fixture 1 Thru 1 0  -  4  At 5 0 Please

Selecting a group and give it 50%:

Group 1 0 At 5 0 Please
