1. Functional Requirements
The AAdyn Punch light is controlled by software (embedded firmware). In general the software shall control the
light and accept user inputs from multiple device types. Via the user inputs the light may be controlled and
various parameters may be saved in non-volatile memory.
The software shall monitor input from the following:
•CIM –an AAdyn proprietary Control Interface Module
•UIM –an AAdyn proprietary User Interface Module.
•DMX –a unidirectional digital network based on the DMX512 standard.
•Cancel (X) –which also referred to as the douse button, is a button that shuts off the light while it is
pressed.
The following sections provide all of the functional requirements for the AAdyn Punch Light Series.
1.1. Proprietary Control/User Interface Module Requirements
Note: Operation of the integral Control Interface Module (CIM) is identical to that of the User Interface
Module (UIM)
•The CIM/UIM Remote Interface Controller has a backlit LCD display that the software shall control
and six user input keys. The keys shall provide the following functionality:
•UP/DOWN keys –select the parameter to be controlled.
•LEFT/RIGHT keys –adjust the value of the selected parameter.
•CHECKMARK (Enter) key –some parameters are only put into effect after the enter key is
pressed. It also causes savable values to be stored.
•Red ‘X’ (UIM remote douse) –shall cause the light to be extinguished while it is pressed.
•The software shall display a menu of parameters on the UIM controller. The parameters listed below
shall be displayed in the order shown from top to bottom when the down key is pressed and shall
default to LIGHT CONTROL. When the up key is pressed the order will proceed from LIGHT
CONTROL to the bottom of the list, then upwards.
•LIGHT CONTROL
•UIM BRIGHTNESS
•UIM FADE
•UIM EFFECT SELECT
•UIM EFFECT FREQUENCY
•DMX BASE ADDRESS
•DMX CHANNEL MODE
•WIRELESS SHOW ID
•MODEL NAME / SW VERSION / SN# / LIGHT UNIQUE ID / RADIO SW

•POWER ON SETTING
•SAVE CUSTOM
•RECALL SETTING
•Under each parameter, the software shall present settings pertaining to the parameter for the user to
select. The settings shall be:
•POWER ON SETTING

10
•The software shall present individually sixteen startup profiles to the user: PRESET1,
PRESET2, PRESET3, CUSTOM1 through CUSTOM12, and OFF changing the choice
each time the right or left arrow button is pressed.
•When a profile is selected by the user, the software shall save this choice to non-volatile
memory.
•When power is applied to light the software shall determine which stored parameters will
be recalled and put into effect. If a startup profile has be previously set it will be used to
set the parameters.
•If the POWER ON SETTING is set to OFF the software will restore the parameters that
were automatically saved the last time the light was in operation. The parameter recalled
are:
•LIGHT CONTROL
•UIM BRIGHTNESS
•UIM FADE
•UIM EFFECT SELECTION
•UIM EFFECT FREQUENCY
•DMX BASE ADDRESS
•DMX CHANNEL MODE
•LIGHT CONTROL
•This parameter shall support four values: “UIM”, “Wired DMX”, “Wireless DMX” and
“OFF”.
•Selecting “UIM” shall allow the UIM button pad to control all functions of the light.
Selecting “DMX” shall allow the DMX controller to control all functions of the light.
Selecting “OFF” shall turn off the light The light shall turn on and the prior brightness
level shall be restored when “UIM” is selected again.
•The factory default for LIGHT CONTROL is UIM (CIM/UIM control).
•Note: In this mode, control is through either and/or both the integral CIM or
optional UIM.
•UIM BRIGHTNESS parameter:
•Values from 0 to 100 percent that can be incremented or decremented in steps of 0.3,
0.7 and 1.0 on slow scroll. Medium and medium fast shall scroll by one and fast shall
scroll by five.
•Each setting value shall represent a brightness level where 0 percent is off and 100
percent is the maximum brightness of the light.
•The change from one brightness value setting to another positive value shall be as
smooth as possible. The built in smoothing delay shall be 250ms. If the DMX controlled
brightness level is changed from a positive value to 0, the software shall turn the light off
within one half second unless UIM FADE is non-zero.
•The factory default for the UIM BRIGHTNESS parameter shall be 100%.
•DMX BASE ADDRESS
•This parameter shall range between 1 and 508 for 5 CHANNELS mode.
•This parameter shall range between 1 and 511 for 2 CHANNELS mode.
•This parameter shall range between 1 and 512 for 1 CHANNEL mode.
•It shall represent the DMX address on the network that is used to address the light.
•This parameter shall be meaningful only if the light control is set to “DMX”.
•The factory default for DMX BASE ADDRESS is 1.
•DMX CHANNEL MODE
•There shall be three modes of operation when the light is under DMX control. These
modes are called: 1 CHANNEL, 2 CHANNELS, and 5 CHANNELS mode. Each mode is
described in section 3.3 below.
