If the "Dimming" function is parameterised, two communication objects appear, firstly the function
for a short push-button action, the "Dimming On/Off" switch object, and secondly the function for a
long push-button action, the "Dimming relative" object.
The two-button function dimming can be parameterised either as brighter/darker or as
darker/brighter, the relationships are shown in the following table:
Table 142: Two-button function - Dimming
The dimming function is a start-stop dimming, that means as soon as the dimming function becomes
active, a light or dark command is assigned to the input until it is released. After releasing, a stop
telegram is sent which stops the dimming process.
