Assigning a profile to a dimmer
Dimmer profiles allow you to select one of ten output curves (profiles) and
assign it to a dimmer. These profiles allow you to compensate for non-
linear light outputs from certain types of fixtures or incorporate a preferred
response in a fade. The ten curves are listed below.
If you do not select a profile, all dimmers use profile zero; a linear fade.
Follow these instructions to assign a profile to a dimmer:
Note: To reset profile to a linear fade, assign profile zero to the dimmer.
