

Brightness

- This will give you a graphical representation of the overall brightness of your pixels averaged over

time by RGB color order.



Volts/Current

- This plots over time the input voltage on a scale of 0-15V and the output current draw on a

scale of 0-5 Amps. The white line indicates the voltage and the red line the current draw.
