How do I identify unused fixtures in a system?

Question

I need to identify unused fixtures in my system for possible re-purposing. Is there an easy way to do that?

I'm not in front of a console at the moment, but I think you can use Query: 
Type [Query] {Isn't in} [Cue] ['Number of first Cue'] [Thru][Thru][Enter]. 
 
[]=Key 
{}=Softkey

The "Channels in use" Tab (CIU) is designed specifically for this. Tab 32.

Yes hydrogen is correct 
 
From the manual (2.3 supplement) 
 
Channels in Use 
A Channels in Use display has been added. It displays the following information for each channel: 
Number of cue lists the channel appears in. Number of cues the channel appears in. Number of cue moves from zero. 
Number of submasters that channel appears in. Maximum channel level 
To open the Channels in Use display, click on the {CIU} icon in the home screen or press [Tab] + [3][2].

Not sure if you have found the tab or not but in the picture the 5th icon along at the bottom is the one you want

Thanks! I'm working on what will be a touring show, from a very broad brush design plot, so honing what will be touring docs about the simplest and streamlined approach for multiple and diverse venues. This discussion was incredibly helpful in accomplishing that.
