The programmes in DimEdit can be opened either by one double click of the left mouse
button or by one click and a second click on the button „opening“.
Copy DimEdit as well as the associated programmes for the light control of the CD provided into a
file on the hard disk of your computer. The programme can be started without further installation.
By the button „loading“ the light programmes included in delivery (Fig. 5) can be opened. By
clicking and holding the left mouse button, curves can be created. Times and percentages are
indicated in the lower, light blue bar. The programme is divided in white, blue, clouds and moon.
With 100%, maximum brightness is shown. During cloud flying, 100% would be the maximum
possible cloud darkening. With the controller for cloud’s speed it can be adjusted how often the
random generator builds new cloud formations.
Description of the programmes (Fig. 3):
Programme 0:
White starts at 7:30 o’clock with brightness of 32%, reaches 100% at 8:00 o’clock, is dimmed
down at 18:15 o’clock in order to end at 18.45 o’clock. Blue starts at 6:45 o’clock and ends at
19:15 o’clock, the dimming process is the same as with white. No moonlight and no moon phase.
