correct use of XY panel on virtual desk

Hi,
I tried to attach two "BeamZ Panther 60" beams to a XY panel on my virtual desk.
Problem: The panel only affects the pan-fine and tilt-fine channels of the fixture. :cry:
Does anybody know how to persuade the panel to use the channels 1 and 2 instead of 3 and 4?
I have not found a solution so far, neither in the fixture- nor in the VD-section. Version is 4.11.1 Linux

DMX chart is
1=pan
2=tilt
3=pan fine
4=tilt fine
5=pan/tilt speed
6=dimmer
7=R
8=G
9=B
10=W
11=strobe
12=Color-mix
13=mode
14=reset

thanks in advance

Peter

Hello Jano,
thanks for your quick response. Your question for qxf brought me to the idea, that i could try to fix it in the fixture desingner??
qxf and qxw attached.

Indeed. In fixture def editor, you need to mark your FINE channels as LSB.

LSB-least significant byte; MSB - most significant byte.
In other words: for 16 bit channels MSB is the upper byte and LSB is the lower byte.
Use MSB for 8bit channels and coarse channels of 16bit attributes, and LSB for fine channels.
