Min/Max Scaling
The Min/Max scaling feature takes the input control level range of 1-255 and scales it to the range Min-Max where Min and Max are proportional to the minimum and maximum conduction values defined by the load profile for the channel.
-
An input control level of 0 is always 0 (off).
-
An input control level of 1 is scaled to Min.
-
An input control level of 255 is scaled to Max.
This allows the desired working range for control from a user's point of view to be managed independently of the minimum and maximum conduction settings in the load profile.
-
Minimum/Maximum conduction in the load profile is an adjustment to adjust the dimmer to the lamp's needs.
-
Min/Max scaling is an adjustment to meet the end user's needs.
Example: The same downlight with the same load profile may be used in two different rooms. If the lamp flickers at the default maximum conduction, then you should reduce the maximum conduction in the load profile to a value where it no longer flickers. If the lamp is now too bright for the user's liking in one room but not in another, change the Max in the Min/Max scaling for the channel feeding the room where it is too bright. This allows the user to set the channel to 100% and get the (different) desired lower maximum brightness in that room, while retaining the higher maximum brightness in the other room.
