MATRIXX
Upload Settings and Transmit to Light
Click the <TRANSFER> button to upload the currently stored settings on the MATRIXX light to the
software interface. Here you can adjust the settings as described above. Afterwards click <transmit>
to send the new settings back to the light unit. NOTE: this will overwrite the current settings stored on
your light unit.
Save
After clicking the option <SAVE> a file browser window will open. This allows the currently displayed
settings to be stored locally on the input device as a file. This file may be saved with a new name or
will be saved as a default file name.
In this way you can save your settings while editing at an intermediate stage for use later. In addition,
The file may be used for additional lights if they require identical settings or can be shared with others
as a profile.
Note: A saved profile can be used for just one or all available boards. To create separate differing
profiles for each board (such as a full moving sun effect where boards have staggered profiles from
left to right or vise versa), it is recommended that an appropriate filename is created for each board
profile such as "daycycle board 0master" or "daycycle board 01slave" etc
Preview:
Clicking this button will send the displayed profile temporarily to the light unit where it will run through
the full 24hour cycle in condensed time. This allows you to see the results of any changes before up-
loading the new settings to the light unit. You can then either transfer the new settings to overwrite the
previous profile, or save them for further adjustment at a later stage on the input device. (NOTE: whilst
in Preview mode, any active weather or moon simulations will run as well, possibly showing as rapid
flashing of the light simulation. De-activating these settings temporarily will allow for a much smoother
preview. It should also be noted that in situations where a late day cycle is chosen, after 9.00am for
example, it may take several minutes before any activity in shown in preview mode whilst the software
runs through the non-light period 00.00-09.00. The preview mode will continue to run until the end of
the simulation. Ie 23:59 at which point the light unit will revert back to the on-board settings.
The Colour Mixer
This feature allows for fine tuning of the visual light composition in real time.
Here, the intensity of each colour channel can be tested by moving its respective slider from 0-100%,
thus different intensities and colour channel mixes can be tested in real time over your aquarium to
achieve an infinite number of lighting conditions. Preferred mixes or ratios can then be recorded for
reference later when programming the daytime profiles.
The Weather Menu
In this area, weather scenarios can be initiated.
