System Using Handheld Device for Programming Lighting Instruments

Content Provider	The Lens
Abstract	A system using a handheld device for programming lighting instruments, which is operable on the DALI system, includes a wireless control module electronically connected and integrated with the DALI system; and a handheld device, having two-way communication with the wireless control module wirelessly. The handheld device has a graphical user interface wherein the graphical user interface has functional blocks. One functional block, which programs groups of functional blocks, includes menus. The screen of each menu is divided into first and second display areas. The handheld device accesses the initialized addresses of the lighting instruments in the DALI system from the wireless control module and displays the non-programmed icons of lighting instruments in the DALI system in the second display area. By dragging the lighting instrument icons displayed in the second display area into the first display area, programming groups of the lighting instruments can be accomplished.
