Dimmer Profiles
This setting determines how fast the output of the COLORdash™ Accent Quad changes when
you modify the values of the red, green, blue, amber, and dimmer faders. This setting provides
four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.
1. Go to the Dimmer Mode main level.
2. Select a dimmer curve (OFF, Dimmer 1, Dimmer 2, or Dimmer 3).
OFF:
The output is proportional (linear) to the dimmer and RGBA channel values.
Dimmer 1–3:
The output follows the dimmer and RGBA channel values based on the
corresponding dimmer curve, DIM1 being the fastest and DIM4 the slowest.

This setting allows for selection of the amount of time the backlight on the
COLORdash™ Accent Quad’s display stays on after the last button is pressed on the control
panel.

output.
