Animation
Description
50/50 Color 1 is displayed on 50% of every segment and Color 2 is displayed on the other 50% of every segment at the defined color intensities
and segment shift
50/50 Rotate Color 1 is displayed on 50% of every segment and Color 2 is displayed on the other 50% of every segment while rotating at the defined
speed, color intensities, rotational direction, and segment shift
Chase Color 1 is displayed as a single spot against the background of Color 2 while rotating at the defined speed, color intensities, rotational
direction, and segment shift
Intensity Sweep Color 1 repeatedly increases and decreases intensity between 0% to 100% on every segment at defined speed and color intensity
Scroll Color 1 fills two segments and those segments move in one direction up or down against the background of Color 2 at the defined speed,
color intensities, and rotational direction
Bounce Color 1 fills two segments and those segments move up and down between the top and bottom of the tower against the background of Color
2 at the defined speed, color intensities, and rotational direction
Color Spectrum The tower light scrolls through the 14 predefined colors with a different color on each segment at the defined speed, Color 1 intensity, and
rotational direction

Parameters
Description
Control Type
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation): Apply a square wave signal to the PWM/PFM Input and vary the duty cycle from 0 to 100%
to set value. The signal must use a constant frequency between 100 to 10,000 Hz.
PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation): Apply a square wave signal to the PWM/PFM Input and vary the frequency from 100 to
10,000 Hz to set the value. The signal must use a constant duty cycle from 10 to 90%.
Counter: Apply a single pulse to the Counter Input to change the value by 1. Apply a single pulse to the Reset Input to set the value to
the starting value, if enabled. The pulse signal must last a minimum of 16 ms; the value changes on the leading edge.
Timer: Apply constant power to the tower to change the value by 1 every 1 second. Use a constant on or off signal on the Timer Run
Input to start and pause the timer, respectively, if enabled. Apply a pulse to the Reset Input to set the value to the starting value, if
enabled. The pulse signal must last a minimum of 16 ms; the value changes on the leading edge.
Subsegment Style If the value is a partial percentage of a segment, select if segment will be on steady or analog dimmed to the partial percentage
Start From
Top: The value decreases from the maximum value
Bottom: The value increases from the minimum value
Reset Input Apply a pulse signal to the Reset Input to set the value to the starting value, if enabled. The pulse signal must last a minimum of 16 ms.
Threshold Dominance
Dominant: All segments display the active threshold color
Non-Dominant: Segments display their defined threshold color
Threshold Type:
Background
A defined color and intensity is displayed on segments that are not active
Threshold Type: Base A defined animation state is displayed on segments that are not defined within a threshold
Threshold Type
≤: The animation state is displayed on the segments that are less than or equal to the defined threshold
≥: The animation state is displayed on the segments that are greater than or equal to the defined threshold
Disabled: The threshold is disabled
Global Parameters and
Advanced Settings
Description
Orientation
Standard: The tower base is down
Upside Down: The tower base is up
Background Color A defined color and intensity is displayed on segments that are not active
Animation Sync
On: Segment animations align when any input state changes
Off: Segment animations will not be synchronized
Auto Restart
On: The counter and timer will reset to the starting value after reaching the end value
Off: The counter and timer will stop at the ending value
Timer Run Input Use a constant on or off signal on the Timer Run Input to start and to pause the timer, respectively, if enabled
PFM/PWM Filter Level
Smooths the input signal by varying the sample size
Low: The sample size is short and changes to the input signal are more noticeable
High: The sample size is long and changes to the input signal are less noticeable
