Hand-Held Test Tool for DALI from Artistic Licence
Dali-Scope from Artistic Licence is a hand-held tool for testing, programming and configuring DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) devices. Dali-Scope is the first hand-held tool specifically designed for DALI. It will be launched at PLASA 2007.
The product can be used to: set the fixture address including group assignments; auto-patch fixture addresses; test the fixture; transmit single levels, group levels and scene selects; walk test; automatically cycle though channels groups and scenes; read all current DALI levels for channels, groups and scenes; read latest DALI levels for channels, groups and scenes; programme scenes; read back configuration information; read back status information such as lamp hours, lamp voltage, mains voltage and curve selection; test the DALI bus power supply.
The product display uses high brightness LEDs making it easy to use in low light conditions. The moisture proof keypad uses single function keys for ease of operation. Dali-Scope is powered by two AA batteries and offers over 12 hours continuous operation. The product is compatible with rechargeable batteries and provides a programmable power-off timer to further extend battery life.
Dali-Scope is an industry first test tool for the DALI protocol. The low cost allows both individual and company ownership. Historically, commissioning or modifying a DALI installation required expensive equipment or laptop with interface cards. Dali-Scope changes all that.
Dali-Scope has been nominated for the 2007 PLASA Product Excellence Award.
