help needed regarding profilux

[mr murphy]

im using profilux 3 ex. i have downloaded pc programme 5.11. i cannot set the ramp times as there is no duration column in the illumination table. also the light mixer doesnt show the percentages i think i have an old programme can somebody help??

i cannot set the ramp times as there is no duration column in the illumination table.

What do you need a duration time for? You set points and the ramp is between this two points. Example:

You set 9:00-5% and 11:00-30% -> this results in an ramp from 9:00 to 11:00 increasing the illumination.
If you would set both points to 5% you would get a stable light value aka two hours of your duration.

There is nothing missed, it´s a different logic to what you expect.

ok i completely understand. this is what i thought but sometimes i see people sayin 120 ramp time during a 4 hour period and this is what confused me. so if i set ligths 9-5% then 11-30% would it slowly fade into new setting or just change at 11? i still think im using the old programme as my light mixer doesn't show the percentages during manual control. the profilux banner on mine looks alot older than everyone elses. if you look at the thumbnail. and how come theres has duration column then? ive also notice a few other differences

As said: yes.


ive also notice a few other differences

Chhanging only PC software will not update your Profilux Computer. Check the firmware version - there is also a changelog in download section

5.11is the last version for both the profillux and the plc software if you have both then you are up to date
