3 Operating the DC2100

DC2100

Use  the  green button or  the  menu option 'Connect...'  to  open the  device  selection
dialog.

Figure 23

The Device Selection Dialog

Select  your  DC2100  -  High Power  LED  Driver  by  double-clicking  or  pressing  the
'Accept'  button.  The  device  will  be  connected  and  the  last  active  mode  will  be
entered. The upload of the actual values on the system may take some seconds.

You  can  disconnect  the  DC2100  by  clicking  on  the  'Disconnect'  button  or  by
selecting 'Menu -> Disconnect'.

3.2.3.2

Constant Current Mode

The constant current can be selected by pressing the 'Constant Current Mode' tab.

You can change  the  value  directly by typing  into  the  numeric  control,  use  the  small
arrows or changing the slider. If you enter a numerical value you have to press 'Enter'
to confirm it. The maximum value depends on the  user  current  limit,  which is  set  in
the configuration menu.

To switch the LEDs on or off use the 'LED Output' button in the left lower corner.
