Explanation about data point settings:
Time: This is the time (in hours and minutes) at which the chosen light settings (color point and
intensity) are active.
Light intensity: This determines the total intensity of the light. This is independent of the selected color-
point.
Color temperature: Using the slider, you can define the color point of the light. It can be somewhere between a
warm and a fully saturated blue color. The numbers "Warm 0-100" and "Cold 0-100" repre-
sent the percentage of power that is supplied to the two light channels.
For example:
If the color temperature slider is set in the middle and the light intensity is set to 100%, the color temperature
variables show "100 warm" and "100 cold". This effectively means that both light channels are pushed to maxi-
mum light output.
If the light intensity is reduced to 50%, the color temperature variables show "50 warm" and "50 cold". This effec-
tively means that both channels are dimmed to 50% output.
If the color slider is set to the right and the intensity is set to 100%, the color temperature variables show
"0 warm" and "100 cold". This effectively means that the white channel is disabled and the blue channel is burn-
ing at 100%. Setting the intensity to 50% will result in the blue channel being dimmed to 50%.
Rounding
Whilst the color point and intensity are being selected the application calculates the percentage at which the
two LED channels should be set. For both drivers this ranges between 1 and 100% (or "off").
It is important to be aware that the application performs a rounding algorithm.
For example:
The intensity is 100% and the colorpoint is set to "4 warm" and "100 Cold"
Now the intensity is dimmed to 25%
Warm will be 1
and Cold will be 25
If the intensity is lowered any further (for example 20%) the application will display
Warm = 0
Cold = 20
All values smaller than 1 will be automatically rounded to 0.
In this example, the white channel is therefore disabled.
