Group-oriented DALI test
The group-oriented DALI test can be executed once the groups have been created and parameterized
in the device configuration and once the DALI commissioning including group assignments of the
devices has been completed. Activate the “Test DALI groups” button in the DALI test environment. The
group-oriented test environment will then open (cf. figure 49).
Figure 49: Group-oriented DALI test environment (in this example with two created groups)
For better clarity the available groups (1...32) are divided into two pages which can be shown
separately. The page views can be switched by clicking on the “Groups 1-16” and “Groups 17...32” in
the top margin of the page. Only those groups that have been created in the device configuration can
be edited and thus tested. Groups not created are masked in grey.
During the group-oriented DALI test each group can be independently switched on or off and dimmed
(relative or absolute dimming).
Activating the “ON” or “OFF” button will immediately cause the switching of the devices that have been
assigned to the corresponding group.
Alternatively, an absolute brightness value can be specified that can be transmitted to the devices of
the group by activating the “Set” button. The brightness value that can be set depends on the group
parameterization for minimum or maximum brightness. If applicable, only a restricted brightness range
can be adjusted during the group-oriented DALI test.
In the same way the brightness value of the DALI device currently set can be requested by activating
the “Read” button. The read-out value will be displayed in the drop-down menu found next to it. The
displayed value might slightly deviate from the one specified last as the value is rounded.
