Advanced Channel Scan

There is a low-level command that allows users to check which channel IDs are already linked. Advanced users can create a script to execute this command:

1. In your controller, open the Configurator > Scripting > Resident tab.

2. Add a new script with a 60-second “sleep” interval and the following content:

   local ipc_call = require('applibs.ihc.ipc').call
   local res, err = ipc_call('dimScan 0x80 0x83', true)
   if res then
     log(res)
   else
     log(err)
   end

   NOTE: The command dimScan 0x80 0x83 scans channel IDs in the range from 0x80 to 0x83.

3. Enable your script by clicking the Disabled button.

4. Check the Logs tab for results.

   

5. The scan result shows that two channels were found:

   

6. Disable the script afterward to prevent periodic execution.
