Dimmer curves
The dimmers are controlled using characteristic curves. A curve assigns
each output level (e.g. 50%) to a specified 'real' dimmer level. The dimmer
curve can be used to modify the dimming behavior of a spotlight to the
given requirements (e.g. to come on when a particular threshold value is
achieved, unlike linear control).
All dimmer curves refer to the power output. Characteristic curve LI “linear”
thus means “linear power output”.
You can assign a specific dimmer curve to each dimmer channel.
You can choose between five curves:
LI Linear = linear power
