As the manual has pretty much just got a screenshot of the page.

Can someone tell me the differences between each column of the fixtures tab.
Location just seems to be a text label.

Unit?
Channel?
Groups?
Circuit?

Patch is obvious as is mode, optics, purpose (text label) and filters, gobos & focus.

Or direct me to the part/page of the manual where it's explained.

Some is this styems from the US system of paperwork.

Unit - used to hang your lights on a pipe. Unit 1 being the first instrument on a pipe (as seen from Stage Left in the US), Unit 2, the second, etc.

Channel - The number by which a fixture is identified on the lighting console

Groups - used by capture to indicate a group of lights that you want to easily selct together

Circuit - the socket number to which a fixture is connected (could be a multicore, in which case you could get a letter and a number separated by a dot)
