DALI Commissioning
Lamps
This page displays the list of commissioned lamps. The list provides a descriptive Name of each lamp as well as other information like Actual Level, Type and short address S.A..
Lamps can be turned On, Off or we can Set Level in a percentage of its light intensity. Notify helps to identify a lamp by dimming it in a loop between its minimum and maximum light intensity. Unassign removes the lamp from the list of lamps while Delete also removes the lamp from the list, but also resets its DALI parameters to the default values.
For the lamps with colour control, available with DALI Type 8 (DT8) lamps, the current colour can be modified with Set Colour.
By clicking on a lamp row, the Lamp Parameters page opens.

There are 16 groups for the lamps and each lamp can be part of any combination of the 16 groups. This page allows visualization and control of the groups.
The first line is indicated by a * and is the channel. The underlying lines are numbered for the 16 groups.
It is possible to:
- turn On or Off the group
- Set Level of the group intensity
- Recall, Store and Delete the group scenes
By clicking on a group row, the Group Parameters page opens.

Groups 0-7 / 8-15
For easy visualization and assignment of the 16 groups, they are separated in views of eight groups (i.e., Groups 0-7 and Groups 8-15).
Scenes
Each lamp has 16 scenes. A scene is a level of light intensity in percentages. The value of a scene can also be left empty. Scenes control can be sent to a single lamp, a group of lamps, or the entire DALI channel. When a scene is recalled, all the addressed lamps are invited to dim their brightness at the same brightness level.
For lamps with colour control (i.e., DT8), the 16 scenes can also recall the colour levels. The configuration of the scene colour levels should be performed in the Colour page of each lamp.
Scenes Control
Scenes can be recalled, stored or deleted. Once the desired group or broadcast destination is selected and the Recall, Store or Delete action is also selected, one of the 16 scenes can be performed.
Scenes 0-7 / 8-15
For easy visualization and configuration of the 16 scenes, they are separated in views of eight scenes (i.e., Scenes 0-7 and Scenes 8-15).
Memory Bank
This page allows read, editing and writing DALI memory banks of lamps and DALI-2 input devices.
Inputs
This page displays the list of commissioned DALI light sensors, occupancy sensors and buttons. The list provides a descriptive Name of each input device as well as other information like occupancy state, light value, types and short address.
Inputs devices can identify themselves with the Identify button.

| Hysteresis | Hysteresis in percentage | ||||
| Hysteresis Minimum | Hysteresis minimum |
To prevent flooding the DALI network with an excessive number of events triggered by minor changes in illuminance levels, a hysteresis band is present in the light sensor.
The hysteresis band is determined as the greater of the following values:
-
The Hysteresis in percentage of the sensor internal current illuminance level.
-
The Hysteresis Minimum.
Hysteresis
This is a percentage of the current sensor internal illuminance level.
The valid values are from 0 to 25 percent.
Hysteresis Minimum
The minimum hysteresis.
The valid values are from 0 to 255.
Light Sensor Calibration
Light sensor calibration involves using a lux meter to measure the ambient light intensity. By comparing the value of the sensor with the lux meter reading, you can adjust the sensor to ensure accurate and consistent measurements. This process ensures that the output of the sensor corresponds accurately to the actual light intensity in lux.
Light Sensors List
It list the calibration for each light sensor.
Collumns
####### Checkbox
Allows the manual calibration of the multiple selected light sensors.
####### Channel
The light sensor channel number, 1 to 4.
####### Index
The light sensor index number, 0 to 31.
####### Name
The light sensor name.
####### Measured
The value measured with a lux meter for calibration.
####### Sensor Value
The light sensor reading value used for calibration.
####### Calibrate Button
Opens the light sensor calibration.
Enter the value obtained from the lux meter and press the Calibrate button.
The Reset button clears the calibration, allowing the use of the light sensor value without calibration.
####### Set Button
Opens the manual calibration for the light sensor.
Enter the value obtained from the lux meter and the light sensor reading. Then, press the Set button.
The Reset button clears the calibration, allowing the use of the light sensor value without calibration.
Addition of DALI devices
The button "+" is used to search for non-commissioned devices.
Unassigned Devices
After scanning a channel, the page displays the non-commissioned devices found on the network. The buttons allow turning On, Off and to Identify the lamp by cycling it between its minimum and its maximum of intensity.
The Scan button allows starting a scan on the DALI channel for unassigned devices.
The Clear button allows clearing the list of unassigned devices.
The Auto Assign button automatically assigns lamps to a lamp index.
The Apply Assignment button assign lamps to a selected lamp index.
Assignment
There are three ways of assigning the DALI devices.
Auto Assign
The lamps are automatically assigned to a lamp index.
Apply Assignment
The selected assignment is applied.
Search
The available lamps can be searched. By pressing the Search button next to a lamp, a search by a half-interval search means is launched to find the lamp. Half of the lamps are turned Off, while the other half is turned On, the user must answer No or Yes if the desired lamp is On. This process is repeated until only the desired lamp is On.
Once the search is complete, the user can enter a name for the lamp and Apply the assignment.
