To create/edit your Illumination run, we recommend using GCC Light
Composer. Light Composer provides the quickest solution for creating your
own lighting schedule.
The Light Composer calculates the individual lighting channels by means of
the desired brightness and color sequence over the day.
You can download that free of charge software on our homepage (Support-
>Downloads) www.aquariumcomputer.com.
The following functions can only be set via GCC.
3.2 Copy an Illumination Run using GCC
With this function, you can spare yourself the time of having to enter the same illumination
run settings again and again, especially if several illumination channels shall do the same.
If you activate Copy illumination run, you still have to enter the illumination channel from
which the run shall be copied. The entry of an illumination run on which you are just working
is then not necessary anymore (resp. also not possible anymore). This illumination channel
follows exactly the illumination run of the channel from which you would like to copy,
potentially time-shifted when you use the following functions.
3.3 Time shift with GGC
This function is used to allow an illumination channel to follow its set course or darkening
during clouds in a time-delayed manner. The time shift can be set separately for the
illumination run and for clouds. The time shift also has an effect when the illumination run
has been copied.
3.3.1 Time shift during clouds
With this function, sliding clouds that pull over several luminaires are possible.
This time, adjustable from 0 s to 3.1 s in steps of 0.1 s, determines with which delay the
illumination channel should be darkened during a cloud. The brightening at the end of a
cloud is delayed by the same time. If you have several dimmable luminaires that can be
separately controlled, you can use this function to create even more realistic clouds.
