Understanding the DMX Operator

litesnsirensMember

In a previous thread James (jingles) advised that maybe I should switch from my stage setter 8 to perhaps an operator 192. I am starting to gain an understanding of DMX, but I still have lots to learn.
So here is my question as I am considering the switch. On the operator there are the scanner buttons for choosing fixtures. So if I assign all the fixtures 32 channels apart then each scanner should control each light individually correct?

Assuming that is right, then if I turn on 3 of the scanner buttons then bring up a fader that fader should work for all the fixtures that i have turned on despite the fact that they are 32 channels apart from each other, is that right.

Sorry for the questions it just seems that each step into the DMX world brings a whole new set of circumstances. If this is indeed how it would work then I will be comfortable in taking the next step, after that I think I would be able to figure out how to program scenes and chases with the new controller... Thanks
