The Global tab contains two secondary tabs:
Brightness
and

Brightness
Global LED brightness is determined by bit settings in the PWMALL register (#6Ah).
The
Global
tab allows the PWMALL register value to be changed by the GUI. The
Brightness
tab opens with default values for the register. Register values can be
changed by toggling the green boxes that represent individual register bits or by directly
entering the new value in the
Hex

Dec
text box. The changes take affect when the
Write

Register values can be changed by toggling the green boxes that represent individual
register bits or by directly entering the new value in the
