The settings are also provided to allow control of other specialized loads (see below). Dimmer
curves and Modes may be set manually using the Dimmer Curve and Mode DIP switches or
using RDM. Whichever method is used last takes precedence. The unit maintains the last
used setting over power cycles, and checks on power up to see if switches have been
changed while the unit was off.
Smoothing (Dimmer Response Time)
When the LED Curve is selected, one of six different smoothing settings can be selected using
RDM. The smoothing setting determines how quickly the dimmer responds to changes in DMX
level. With the fastest smoothing setting (5ms) the dimmer and connected LED loads will
respond immediately to any level change. As longer smoothing settings are selected, the
dimmer and connected LED loads will “ramp” more smoothly between DMX levels, simulating
the delayed response of an incandescent filament lamp. The six Smoothing settings are:
•
5ms
•
10ms
•
50ms
•
100ms
(default)
•
200ms
•
400ms
The selected Smoothing setting affects all channels configured with the LED Curve. The default
setting is 100ms. The Smoothing (Dimmer Response Time) setting is selected via RDM using
the DIMMER_RESPONSE_TIME Parameter.
