The Panel Level Adjust function allows you to adjust the color levels in 
individual panels to compensate for differences in performance. 

The red, green, and blue fields display the brightness levels for the 
selected panel. The values can be refreshed by clicking Connect or the 
All Levels > PC button. The radio buttons are not intended to be clicked. 
Use the Fill Color fields instead to select the color to adjust. 

To adjust individual panel levels:

1. Select red, green, or blue using the Fill Color fields. Do not select the 

white fill color. 

2. Place a check in the Panel Level Adjust Enable check box. 

3. An on-panel cursor appears when the panel level adjust function is enabled. Use the trackball 

(recommended) or other pointing device to select a panel.

4. With the cursor on the desired panel, hold the left button down and move the pointing device up or right 

to increase the color intensity, or down or left to decrease it. Release the left button. 

5. Clicking Default to 100% brings all levels to 100% in the selected panel.

6. Using the same fill color, repeat the process for each panel that needs adjustment. 

7. Repeat for the other fill colors. 

8. When all adjustments have been made, click Save Parameters to save the panel levels in non-volatile 

memory. Remove the check from the Enable check box.

The Freeze / Run buttons toggle the video stream on (run mode) and off (freeze mode). Freeze mode is 
required when displaying addresses or using the color fill function. The other commands can be executed in 
run or freeze mode.

Clicking Factory Default returns all panels to LCS default values for wall brightness, pixel position, and 
cooling mode. The settings take effect immediately but are not saved in the panels’ non-volatile memories 
until Save Parameters is pressed.

The Fill Color fields allow you to fill the screen with a solid color 
for test and adjustment purposes. 

Each control ranges in value from 0 (off) to 255 (full intensity). 
The maximum brightness that can be achieved using the Fill 
Color fields is limited by the Wall Brightness settings. 

Change the color values as described on page 8, under “How to change numeric values”. To clear the fill 
color, click Run.
