Choose a peripheral sensor from the Add Peripheral drop-down list. Refer to Figure 53.
Figure 53: Peripherals - Add Peripheral
If a peripheral device is congured but the VIP
is unable to receive responses, a red banner
opens at the top of the device conguration
section. Refer to Figure 54.
Light
A light sensor automatically controls display brightness based on ambient light
conditions. To congure a light sensor, follow these steps while referring to Figure 55.
1. Select the correct type of light sensor
assembly from the Type drop-down list. The
default light sensor is CAN (Controller Area
Network).
• CAN – A controller area network
based sensor that returns light intensity
readings.
• CAN Lux – A controller area network
based sensor that returns light intensity
readings in LUX units. The default sensor
response setting is Automatic; change
this setting only under the direction of
Daktronics technicians.
• CAN Multi Directional – A controller area network based sensor that returns light
intensity readings or LUX unit light readings from several directions.
2. Enter the sensor’s congured address in the Address eld.
3. Select the connection type from the Connection drop-down list.
4. Set the Sensor Response to Automatic or
Custom. Refer to Figure 56.
• Automatic - The standard linear
brightness curve that gradually
increases the brightness from 0% to
100% as the sensor value increases from
0 LUX to 212 LUX.
• Custom - Set the sensor readings used
to determine the display brightness
curve. This setting is not usually needed.
5. Click Save at the top of the screen to save the changes.
