Point Manager for DALI-2

The Point Manager view is available for devices (control gear and inputs devices) added to the DALI-2 network. It lists all DALI points added to the ControlGear or InputDevice component, and shows their Out slot value, status, polling mode, and enabled or disabled state.

Note: For InputDevice components, the view also shows the instance number column.

Adding DALI Points

The DALI points may be added to the device twofold: dragging and dropping the point to the ControlGear/InputDevice component from the DALI library (in the Device Libraries window), or using a special Add function in the Point Manager view available in the bottom right corner. The Add function allows to add any of the DALI points available in the DALI library, but sorted by applicability to either control gear or input device type.

Multiediting of Common Slots

The Point Manager view allows multiediting of common slots in components of the same type, for example, to enable all one-type components at once. Multiediting is available in the Object Properties window, upon selecting one-type components in the Point Manager with Ctrl or Shift keys.
