Introduction
Here you can find an overview of toolbox and its features.
Firstly, what is it? Well, Advatek Toolbox is a collection of web-based applications built by the Advatek Product Team to reduce friction and save time when planning, designing and specifying projects with PixLite® controllers.
The tools provide solutions to focused workflows and for jobs that would otherwise require additional calculations, testing software or preparation. They can be accessed through a web browser and used to plan and visualize projects before working directly with a PixLite® Mk3 controller. Toolbox tools generate outputs you can deploy for use with Advatek products for reliable deployment.
Navigating Toolbox
To access Advatek Toolbox, visit the Toolbox page on the website
On this page you can open and download each tool from its corresponding tile.
All Toolbox tools cache their state in your web browser ensuring nothing gets wiped if you refresh the page or restart the session.
Toolbox tools take an off-site first workflow. Meaning you don’t require hardware to specify or generate standalone scenes for a project.

Further Information
Each tool is documented with an inbuilt user manual which provides a step-by-step breakdown of how to use the tool and implement its output where applicable.
