You can finetune your driver with the LedSync parameters:
1. Press the ‘Refresh parameters’ button to download your
driver’s current settings to your FluxTool screen.
2. Make any required changes in the appropriate fields and
press Enter.

Only make changes you are sure of, as changes are saved
to the driver immediately. Some parameters can cause
damage to driver or LEDs when set to an incorrect value.

For a full description of all available LedSync parameters, refer

to Addendum sheet DMX/LedSync parameters.

DMX sliders
The FluxTool application features a built-in 8-slider DMX con-
DMX / LedSync menu troller to test the settings on your luminaire. This controller can
be used with an 8- or 16-bit network resolution. Make sure the
connected driver has been configured for the same network
resolution (parameter 4 in the left-hand pane).

with.
