controlling individual channels

hi,
we have purchased a 24 channel DMX decoder and have wired 8 individual lights to the decoder. each fixture uses 3 channels. is it possible to control each fixture individually on the Nano Hog4 running Hog Pc. I know it can be done using other computer software, but wanted to know if the Nano Hog was capable of controlling each fixture individually. the decoder has only 1 DMX dipswitch. Controlling this through the hog would make my life so much easier. is it possible? thanks

    If your decoder is set to 420 that's the first of the 24 addresses it's working with.
    So 1st fixture = 420, 2nd = 423 and so on.
    When you say generic fixtures though, it sounds like your units aren't generics if they have a colour function?
    Simplest way would be to patch 24 generic channels at address 420-443 and remember that ch1-3 = fixture 1, etc but that defies the point of a desk like a Hog. You need to find the correct personality for your lights, and patch those at 420, 423 etc.
