LOR800W & LOR160xW g3

A curve file is a list of comma delimited numbers

with as many numbers per line as you like. Text on

a line preceded by ‘#’ is treated as a comment.

There are 1024 numbers in a curve file. The first

number represents off and the last full brightness. A

number in the curve file is a value between 0 and

1023. The curve files map into the LOR brightness

world for which LOR will provide a conversion utility.

Configuring Lighting Curves

Each channel on the controller is assigned a

lighting curve. Initially, all channels are configured

with the Standard curve. See the Lighting Curves

section for more information on what curves are

and which curves come with the controller.

The Hardware Utility is used to read current curve

information from the controller, download new

curves to the controller and associate curves with

the output channels.

Start the Hardware Utility (see the Assigning a Unit

ID section).

In the Max Units section of the Hardware Utility

window, click the Change button. Move the slider in

the Change Maximum Units box so that the Max

Units is set to 10 (or the maximum number of

controllers you have configured.) This will limit the

search for controllers to the first 10 unit IDs,

otherwise 240 controllers would be searched for –

taking a long time. Click the Save button.

Click the “Refresh” button to find your controller(s).

Select a controller from the drop down menu to the

right of the Refresh button. Then click the

LOR800W & LOR160xW g3

“Configure” button at the bottom of the window. You

will see this window:

Click the “Advanced Configuration” button on the

lower right. The Hardware Utility will read the

current curve information from the controller, find

the curve files on your PC (if any) and display this

window:
