AMX RADIA Lighting Programming

To correct for anomalies in the dimming performance of various devices, the AMX Lighting controller has provisions to set an individual low-end trim for each of the six dimming channels. The AMX Lighting dimming system employs a low-end cut-off that allows the dimmer to turn on to a specified level or to dim down to a specific level. The level at which the dimmer turns on is called the Low End Setting.

Low End commands prevent the dimmer from going below a set threshold. They also force the dimmers on to the preset threshold, which is useful for some transformer loads and track lights.

Levels

Radia only supports 8-bit levels with values from 0-255; equivalent to 0-100%. Each AxLink level (1-6) corresponds o a dimmer (1-6). The levels can be used both as feedback and control.

As feedback, when a dimmer is ramping (i.e. changing level), Radia will send notification to the master as the level changes EXCEPT as noted below.

As control, Radia also can receive level changes from the master and it will update the dimmers’ output level corresponding to the received level from the master. The rate of actual dimmer level change is determined by the default level time as specified in the 'LT' command.

Receipt of level changes will also define the affected dimmer for the purposes of presets. During ramping of a dimmer output due to incoming level changes, Radia will not send feedback level updates. It will resume sending level updates back to the master upon reception of a command or channel that affects the dimmer/ level.

For more information on programming lighting systems, please refer to the AMX RADIA Lighting Programming section on page 31.

Default Settings

The factory defaults for all adjustable settings is as follows:

Default Low-end

The default low-end setting is 1 for all dimmers.

Default Ramp Time

The default ramp times, in seconds, are:

Initial Level Status Reporting

When communication with a master is established, the master assumes the Radia is at its default level status, and the master assumes that all levels are at zero. However, Radia may not be at the same status assumed by the master on default, and at least one or more levels would be non-zero if new levels are established.

Therefore, Radia saves the value of each level, and will send an update to the master of the value of any non- zero level if your code contains a CREATE_LEVEL or LEVEL_EVENT for Radia.
