5.8. Programming the Analog ‘needle’ colors
Click on the Colors tab.
This shows the current color settings for all the 21 LEDs plus the indicator colors used when reviewing Min/Max
hold.
To change the color of an individual LED, double-click with your mouse on the LED to change. The following
dialog box will show up:
The currently selected LED is also highlighted.
By changing the sliders for red, green and blue any color out of a set of 32767 colors can be created. Any color
can be created by mixing red, green and blue light at varying ratios. The XD-16 can be programmed for 32
different values for each red, green and blue. And 32x32x32 is 32768. But black (all off) is hardly used.
While moving the sliders the simulated LED on the screen changes color and also the appropriate LED on the
XD-16 at the same time. Because computer screens use a different technology to create colors than the XD-16,
the actual colors on the XD-16 can be different than the screen colors.
With the sweep test button the XD-16 will sweep through all LEDs from left to right to give you and indication on
how the color scheme you programmed will look in real life.
To change multiple LEDs to the same color, just program one LED. Then drag this LED over the other LEDs you
want to program to the same color.
