Dimmer Profiles

When you assign a custom profile to a dimmer, it alters the standard "linear"

fade curve characteristic of the dimmer. If you assign profiles to dimmers, the

dimmer profiles are in use whenever you control dimmers with channel levels.

Direct Dimmer Control always bypasses any dimmer profiles. Dimmer profile

assignments are shown in the fourth column of the Patch display.

? EXAMPLE: To assign a profile to dimmers in the Patch display:

[DIMMER] [# list] [PROFILE] [#] [ENTER]

ADVANCED TOPIC: For more information about profiles, see

Chapter 18, Profiles.

Proportional Levels

When you assign a proportional level to a dimmer, it limits the maximum

output of the dimmer to the percentage specified. For example, a dimmer

assigned a proportional level of 50% never exceeds 50% output level, even

when the channel controlling that dimmer is at Full. In this case, a channel

level of Full provides 50% dimmer output. The same channel at 50% would

provide a dimmer output of 25%. The entire curve assignment of the dimmer

is reduced proportionally to the level assigned. Proportional level assignments

are shown in the third column of the Patch display.

? EXAMPLE: To assign a proportional level to dimmers in the Patch

display:

[DIMMER] [# list] (DIM. LEVEL) [#] [ENTER] (Specifies the

dimmers to assign a propor-

tional level.)

- or -

(DIM. LEVEL) [#] [ENTER] (Assigns

proportional level to the current

dimmer shown in reverse video.)
