Topset 

The Topset function is used to apply a
scaling factor to the final output level of 
a dimmer channel, such that the input
control range gets compressed into a
smaller output range.

For example - If the input level of a
channel is 80% and the Topset level of 
the channel is 50%, the output level
will be 80% x 50% = 40%.
