2.3 Clouds
Mitras LX7 can simulate passing clouds by using a random generator. When a cloud passes,
all of the involved luminaires temporarily become darker as the simulation goes through its
effect. With Mitras LX7, you can also create a gliding clouds simulation over several
luminaires.
2.3.1 Settings for the Slave Light
With a slave light, only the time difference to the master can be set with a range of -45s +45s.
Slave lights follow the simulations of the master light, with a negative time difference.
This means the cloud (simulation) from the slave light starts earlier or later than the cloud
(simulation) from the master light.
With this function, over the aquarium gliding clouds can be simulated.
For example, within 30 seconds, a cloud should glide across 3 lights.
Left light: Slave with time difference -15 seconds
Light center: Master
Light Right: Slave with time difference +15 seconds
2.3.2 Settings for Master and Stand Alone Light
The maximum Waiting time (0s - 100s) determines how long the time intervals between clouds
should be (with 0s, the cloud simulation is disabled). The random number generator waits
between 1s and the maximum Waiting time until a new cloud is generated.
Furthermore, the minimum and maximum cloud duration as well as the maximum darkening
(10% - 95%) are to be set. The random generator generates new clouds taking these values
into account.
The cloud simulation can also be tied-in with other simulations.
2.4 Moon
This function is only available for master and stand-alone luminaires. Slave lights follow the
simulations of the master light.
Mitras LX7 simulates the moon phases depending on the date.
In reality, the lunar cycle is a very complex matter:
