Using the Dimmer Utility 31
Revision 1.0 - 7-May-02 HUB24 Series Dimmer Operating Manual
Appendix A Using the Dimmer Utility
The HUB24 and later HP dimmers can have updated operating software downloaded to
them. The HUB24 can also have user definable dimming curves and custom logos
downloaded to it. This is achieved using a PC Download cable, connected between the
PC serial port and the dimmer’s DMX input connector.
Jands Dimmer Utility is a Windows-based custom editor and download application. It
provides the following facilities:
•
Download HUB24 operating software.
•
Download HP12 & HP6 operating software.
•
Edit & download dimming curves.
•
Edit & download custom logos.
The Dimmer Utility software only sends files to a dimmer. A dimming curve or custom
logo cannot be read back from the dimmer in order to make minor changes to it, so it is
important to save all curves and logos on the computer as well.
These instructions assume the user has basic experience with Microsoft Windows. For
help in this area consult the Windows manual or click Help on the Start menu.
