• With live mode enabled, the controller sends all data directly to the fixtures (for every entry). This starts when a
time entry is selected. When a time entry is selected, the corresponding row (time, color and intensity) is high-
lighted and content is transmitted to the lamp. All changes in the highlighted area will be transmitted directly
to the fixture(s).
• In addition to live mode, the controller also supports a demo mode. In two minutes, the program runs through
the entire schedule and transmits the data to the fixture(s).
• The acclimatization feature can be used to reduce the light intensity of the active schedule for a period of time.
The light intensity is initially reduced, before being gradually increased over the acclimatization period towards
the active schedule.After the acclimatization period, the active schedule will remain. This is typically imple-
mented when installing new lamps, with a new aquarium, or when new corals are added to an existing tank.
'Acclimatization factor' refers to the amount of light reduction to start the process with. 'Acclimatization period'
refers to the time it takes for the light intensity to increase towards the active schedule.
• You can also make use of the tab "Direct control" to directly control the light. Tick the box "Enable direct con-
trol" and the connected light will synchronize with the application.
• You can program the active setting into a preset by clicking "Save to preset" and by selecting one of the four
presets. With the "time" field you are able to determine how long the preset or direct control should overrule
the active schedule.
• You can stop a preset by deticking the box "Enable direct control"
