LedControl4 Passive - functions

[premiero]

Can someone explain me what all this options do?



1. Inverted
2. Flash intensity 50%
3. Flash intensity 75%
4. Flash intensity 100%
5. All flashes
6. Flash 1
7. Flash 2
8. Ch. C1/C1+C2

1 - I know that for PS BP lamp we have to invert logic. If we don't do it, the lamp will be set to 100% for all the time.
2-4 - I was thinking this options are used to produce flashes with different level, but to be honest, i don't see any difference, no matter the setting I choose.
5-7 - I was thinking this options are used to choose which channels flashes at time, but no mater what I choose, all channels are flashing
8 - i have no idea what is it for.

2-4 determines the flash level (brightness LEDs during a flash)

5-7 ProfiLux sends different flash signals: flash 1 and flash 2 - with this setting you can chose, on which flash signals the lamp should react on
-> if you have 2 lamps you can achieve that both lamps produce flashes at different times

8 flashes are output on channels 1 or channels 1 and 2 (each programming toggles this)

So, if I understand correctly, the 5-7 option work only when I use more than one LedControl4 Passive (each Slave is connected independly as "Multi-light" config)? It won't work when "Mono-light" - 1 controler and Slave to Slave DSC cable connection?

[Matthias]

the options 5-7 make only sense if you have more than 1 lamp connected

one lamp: use "all flashes"

I have 2 PS BP Slave lamps with 1 LedControl4 Passive controller. For now, no matter what i choose, the flashes are the same on both lamps (in time)

So can You explain:
1. All flashes - flashes all lamps in the same time?
2. Flash 1 - do ... ?
3. Flash 2 - do ... ?

[Matthias]

we tested this also

result: erverything works fine as expected

the new PLC 5.0.7.1 has now support for programming the LEDControl4 and you can trigger flashes 1, 2 and 1+2 manually for testing
-> using this you will understand how it works
