Resolve clash

It is possible that two ballasts can have the same short address. If that happens the ballasts clashing are shown
with a red icon. The resolve clash button will move the clashing ballasts to a random address that is unused by
any other ballast.

Identify emergency ballasts

Send all emergency ballasts a command to indicate their address on the multicoloured LEDs on the fixture.
Whilst this is enabled the command will be sent every 10 seconds.

To manually readdress a DALI ballast:

1. Select the ballast icon in the current address cell
2. Drag it to the target (preferably empty) address cell

The ballast is readdressed to the target cell. If the target cell was occupied then the ballasts should swap
addresses although this has not been found to be terribly reliable.

To highlight a ballast

Select an address cell (containing a ballast icon) and press Highlight to bring this ballast to full level, select
another cell to highlight instead or press Highlight again to turn off.

Patching DALI fixtures

When you add DALI fixtures to your project plan in

setup

these "abstract" ballasts are assigned to the Unpatched

DALI group in the Browser and must be mapped to real DALI interfaces and ballasts using this window.

Once you have discovered and addressed all the real DALI ballasts for each interface (if more than one) you can
then patch your DALI fixtures to them simply by dragging them from the Unpatched DALI group onto the required
interface and address cell. As each DALI interface is assigned DALI fixtures, the Browser refreshes to reflect
these changes. The Unpatched DALI group will become empty once all the DALI fixtures in the project have been
patched.

It is of course possible to patch your DALI fixtures blind in advance of being connected to the real ballasts. The
patch is stored with the project data and not on the DALI ballasts.

DALI groups

Unlike other groups in Designer, DALI groups are a property of the real DALI interface not an abstract collection
of fixtures, and there can only be 16 DALI groups per interface. The matrix on the lower pane of the window
allows you to add and define groups for each interface:

To add a DALI group:

1. Press the Add button
2. Type a name by double-clicking the name cell
