MATRIXX
The chart starts on the left of the horizontal axis at 00:00hrs running to 23:59hrs on the right. The four
color channels with their respective light intensities and durations are shown as time/intensity curves
(0 - 100%) with intensity shown on the left of the graph on the vertical axis.
Selection and Adjustment of the individual light Channels
On the left side of the selection bar at the top of the currently active screen you can choose the indi-
vidual channel to be adjusted. Tap this area to select a colour channel whose settings you want to
change. After selecting a colour channel the corresponding curve and current set points will be high-
lighted. Touching or clicking on a set point will allow you to drag or adjust that point to anywhere on
the scale. Whilst highlighted or whilst being moved, the set point details will be displayed in numerical
terms as both time and intensity.
Please note: Each set point must follow the previous point and rest prior to the next to create a linear
curve. An existing set-point cannot be moved to a time 'before' the previous set point, or after the next
in the curve. The first and last set points will always represent the start and end of your daytime light
cycle for the colour channel you are currently adjusting. If either start or end set-point are at a level
above 0% intensity, the program will automatically follow that trend across the rest of the 24hr period
until reaching the first set point of the following day. Setting both start and end points to 0% will ensure
that the respective channel remains inactive at all other times. Moonlight cycles are covered later in
this manual.
You can add set points at any point along the curve by tapping any non-allocated area between exist-
ing points and the curve will automatically adjust to factor the new point. Alternately a point may be
removed by 'double clicking' on it, and the curve will adjust automatically by joining the previous and
next set points. In this fashion, very realistic lighting curves may be programmed for each colour
channel to simulate not only realistic increases and decreases in intensity across the light period, but
also natural changes in the spectral distribution across the light period, such as a gentle warm orange
sunrise through midday high intensity light of a more even spectrum, and onto late evening twilight. A
maximum of 400 set-points may be programmed across all lamps and all colour channels during a
24hr period.
The Default settings
Clicking the "Default 1" or "Default 2" button will set all colour channels to a predefined curve. From
here you can adjust the curves of each channel to suite your individual requirements by moving, add-
ing, or subtracting set points as you go.
Reset
Using this function will reset all colour channels to 50% intensity for the entire course of the 24 hour
cycle
(00:00 - 23:59)
Move settings
All settings of the actually chosen curve may be moved backward and forward.
Use the slider to select an interval for the shift of the curve. By clicking on the two direction buttons the
curve is shifted by the specified time. Repeat the process if necessary. With OK the new values are
stored for the current channel.
