Is there a way to utilize the command line to change DMX values to change the color wheel position?

I would like to select a group of fixtures with color wheels, assign them a value to their (ch 9 and 10) to change colors via command line.

I am aware of the ALT+C function, but can not find documentation that demonstrates how it works. Yes I have read the manual from 2018 as well.

If you know you want to use the set colours on the wheel, Make a colour preset for each one and then use the CMD to target those presets

@Robert, I figured as much. I had scoured through your tutorial videos to see if you covered it too! I will go that route. I am working on a song cue builder for churches using the command line and OSC integration to easily change things based on background screen colors, AI to generate cues based on song lyrics, click track files and Youtube Video references.
