Channel Graphs

There are three types of Channel Graph, with slightly different characteristics:

Each Channel Graph:

• Indicates each level in the selected scene, or Device, or Workgroup/Router/Subnet
• For each channel, indicates whether faults have been detected

Typical uses of the Channel Graphs

• Visual check of stored and actual levels
• Live fine-tuning of actual lighting levels (in Live Mode)

The three types of Channel Graph are:

• Channel Graph for a Scene
• Channel Graph for a Load (Control Gear / Lamp Interface Unit)
• Channel Graph for a Workgroup/Router/Subnet
