Segment mode

Description

The following chapters are relevant, in case the Segment mode mode has been selected via the SmartLight control feature.

General description: Segment indicator

Output Process Data

Output process data bitfield descriptions

Number of segments

The number of the segments can be set. The auto scale functionality will set the number of segments automatically. Only segments, which have meaningful color setting, will be displayed, so that there will be no blank LEDs for inactive segments.

Segment X animation

Animation pattern

Animation direction

The direction is relevant for the revolving segment animation pattern.

Animation speed

The animation speed values has different meaning depending on the selected animation pattern.

Segment X color

Color A, Color B

Color A is the primary color. Without any animation the color A will be displayed. In case of an animation pattern has been set, the color of the segment will be changed between A and B according to the animation pattern.

ISDU

Custom Frequency of 50% blink

The customizable frequency of the 50% blinking can be set between 0.5 and 10 Hz in a step of 0.5 Hz.

Custom Blink Pattern general description

The product provides three customizable animation patterns. Each pattern has a Custom Blink Pattern parameter that defines the actual animation sequence. For each pattern, the Number of Samples in Custom Blink Pattern register specifies how many samples (steps) the given pattern consists of. The Duration of Custom Blink Samples register defines the time duration of a single sample, and this duration is common for all three patterns. In other words, every sample within any custom blink pattern is displayed for the same, globally defined time.
The duration of a single periode of the aninmation pattern will be determined by the number of samples for the pattern, multiplied by the common sample duration.

Custom Blink Pattern X

Each bit of this parameter means a sample value for the blink pattern. Value 1 for the sample will result Color A to be signalized in the corresponding time slot, value 0 will display Color B. The bits will be displayed from direction MSB to LSB.

Number of Samples in Custom Blink Pattern X

The number of the samples in the pattern can be set between 4 and 32.

Duration of Custom Blink Samples

Size of Revolving Segment

The size of the revolving light can be configured. The exact amount of LED levels which are revolving will be automatic defined, becasue segment size may differ depending on other configurations.

X Segment Mode - Segment Y

The size of each segments can be configured independently. Different configurations are available depending on how many segments are selected as acitve segment. This description is relevan for all segments, in case of all possible number of segments selected. The ISDU adresses can be found at the ISDU table, here the subindex structure will be described. Each ISDU (for example 6 Segment Mode - Segment 5) has two numbers in their name. The first number (6 Segment mode) shows, that the ISDU is relevant, in case X (6 in the example) active segments has been set. The second number defines (Segment 5) which segment will be set. The ISDU value will define how big the segment shall be.
ISDU 6 Segment Mode - Segment 5 defines the size of the fifth segment, in case 6 segment mode has been selected.
The segment size can be defined by setting the lower and upper limit. The lower limit defines the first LED level, the upper limit defines the last LED level, which will be in the selected segment.
