Curve

Curve is the correlation between the change in the value of the dimming control signal and

the actual change in the fixture's brightness. Curve is also the extent to which the fixture

lags in its response time to the control signal in order to facilitate smoothness in dimming.

Standard

Standard is a modest curve for intuitive brightness changes at both high and low ends of

the dimming range. Moderate lag in response for good smoothness. It allows quick jumps

in brightness. Suitable for most applications.

Incandescent

Exaggerated curve mimics the response of tungsten on a conventional dimmer. Lag is quite

pronounced and present even in full on or off bumps. Extreme smoothness with no instant

changes. Best when fixtures must operate in sync with incandescent sources.

Linear

Linear has no curve. Brightness levels correlate exactly with the value of the dimming

control signal. Moderate lag in response for good dimming smoothness. Linear allows quick

jumps in brightness. It is best for studio lighting and applications with static scenes or looks.

Quick

Quick uses the standard dimming curve but with no lag or smoothing. All changes are

instant and correlated exactly with the control input signal. Quick is best for extreme high

impact and video-based control.
