SOFT ON / SOFT OFF
If the DMX channels are switched on and off via the 1Bit object, the dimming value 100% and 0% is set
directly, i.e. "jumped" directly without intermediate steps.
With the option "Soft On/Off" a dimming function is activated for the first 128 DMX channels and
switching on and off is carried out with intermediate steps and thus slower, softer.
The activated function "Soft On/Off" causes the DMX channels to be switched on (0% - 100%) and off
(100% - 0%) with a total dimming time of 5.2 seconds.
The dimming time will be correspondingly shorter if it is not switched on at 0% or switched off at 100%.
(Example. If the current dimming value is switched off at 50%, the dimming process is already
completed after 2.6 seconds).
The function is activated and deactivated together for both DMX interfaces in the extension menu
(orange arrow). After uploading the project data, the function is active and the DMX channels 1 - 128
switch on and off via the 1-bit object with a dimming time of 5.2 seconds.
NOTE: The function only interacts with the 1-bit object. If a DMX channel receives a dimming value
during a dimming process, e.g. via the 1 byte object, the dimming process is interrupted immediately.
