      Expert Editing Mode Return To Index     
   

Expert Editing Mode allows editing changes to be made piecemeal.  Each Expert Editor can be entered and closed in any order and as many times as required before exiting from Expert Editing Mode.

 

Individual Expert Editors may be selected by touching any of the buttons at the top of the screen or, if a keyboard is present, by pressing the corresponding hotkey.  Individual Expert Editors are:

  Zones:

Allows Zones to be created or deleted, given names, enabled or disabled and assigned signature colors.

  Devices: Allows Devices to be automatically detected, manually added or deleted; imported from a file or exported to a file.
Parameters can be set or changed for any device, including:
  • Device Type
  • Device Address
  • Location
  • Zone (if Zones defined)
  • Primary Load (if Device can have Load ...)
  • + Short Name (used in Lights Task screen)
  • + Local On Level
  • + Local Ramp Rate

Device memory can also be erased to remove any Links that may exist on the device -- this may assist in determining the Primary Load for a Device in an existing network.

Cross-Links:

Allows Cross-Links to be established from any Switching Device (Master) to any Loadable Device (Slave) and, in each case where the Loadable Devices supports dimming, values to be set for the On Level and Ramp Rate to be applied when the Link is activated.

Links can also be set up as two-way Links, allowing the current status of the Slave Device to be displayed at the Master Device.

The following procedures may be used to select the various Expert Editing options:
