Programming:
General:
Once the software and hardware installations have been completed you may program the
waveforms/patterns etc using the SISKIYOU LED Controller software, load to the controller and execute.
1. Turn on the power to the IS-LEDc controller by flipping the switch upward, the red LED
light on the switch should illuminate. If the red LED does not illuminate, ensure that the
input power cord is connected to AC power (85-264VAC, 47-63Hz).
a. To reset the controller, Switch the AC power off then back on, wait
approximately 5 seconds then resume operation.
2. Load the SISKIYOU IS-LEDc 2 Channel LED Controller software by clicking the shortcut
which was created on the Start menu or browse start menu to folder “Siskiyou” and
click “Siskiyou LED Controller”. In the popup window, click “Continue”.
COM Port Setup:
1. Click the drop down arrow under “Available COM Ports” in the upper left area of the
Siskiyou LED Controller window to show available COM ports. A list of ports should
appear, click on the COM port of your choice.
2. Click on the button labeled “Open” to open communication to the LED controller. The
label above this button should change to “COM x-Open”.
3. Your Port is now ready for use.

Notes:
Until the port has been setup and connected, the following controls are inactive:
i. Enable 1
ii. Enable 2
iii. CW on
iv. CW off
v. Start
All other controls are active and can be used to setup the waveform parameters.
LED Drive Current Setup:
There are two current generators for the LED’s in the LED current group. The current may be set
from a minimum of 100mA (.1A) to 1200mA (1.20A) in 10mA (.01A) increments by scrolling or dragging
the slider up or down in the LED CURRENT dialog box. These controls are independent of each other and
may be set to different values for each LED source.
1. Set the correct LED current for each LED source by using the up/down arrows at the top and
bottom of the scroll bars at the left side of the screen.
2. When the correct level has been set, the value can be sent to the fixture (only when the port
is open) by pressing the “Enable 1” and/or the “Enable 2” buttons.
3. These values will remain in the controller when the power is turned off and then back on
and will remain until new values of current are set and enabled as described in steps 1 and 2
of this section.
Figure 4
Note: If the LED current is changed, the “Enable” button will go off and the “Disable” button
will come on. If the START button is pressed at this time, the previous LED current value will
be held. The “Enable” button must be clicked to write the current value to the controller
memory.

CW Mode: (Continuous Wave)
During a waveform sequence, if the “CW ON” button is pressed, the LED drive will switch to full
on. The waveform will continue in the background until complete but will not influence the LED output.
This CW control affects both LED drive channels simultaneously. If the “CW OFF” button is pressed, the
waveform which has been running in the background will resume control of the LED output and will
continue through the end of the waveform. (The “CW ON” button does not pause the waveform, it is an
override function to allow for continuous illumination.)
The “CW ON” or “CW OFF” status remains in the controller when the AC power is switched off
and then back on.
Software/Hardware Trigger:
The optional Hardware Trigger (aka. Remote External Trigger) must be installed to use the
“Hardware Trigger” option. Install the Hardware Trigger by attaching BNC connector from the trigger to
the BNC port on the rear of the controller box.
Click the “Software Trigger” radio button to control the LED’s pulse train using the computer
“START” button.
Click the “Hardware Trigger” radio button to control the LED’s pulse train using the hardware
trigger. Press “START” button to load parameters into the controller. For each trigger pulse,
there will be one pulse train. If any pulse parameters are changed, the above procedure must be
repeated.
Note: Parameters must be loaded (by pressing the “START” button) before the hardware trigger can
be used and likewise if parameters are changed. Parameters for the waveform can only be set in the
software mode by pressing the “START” button.
Waveform/Train/Group Setup:
These controls can be setup prior to the port setup and connection. These settings will be
maintained as long as this window is open. There are two channels that operate independently but are
triggered simultaneously.
In the waveform viewing panes, the top three panes display an individual train of the waveform
while the bottom three panes display the group data. The top viewing pane of each group shows a
simulated example, this is for reference only and will look different than the actual waveforms.
To view a waveform, use the “Display” button. If a parameter of either channel is changed, then
use the “Clear Screen” button to remove the old waveform before using the “Display” button to show
the modified waveform in the viewing pane. Failure to use the “Clear Screen” button will cause the new
waveform to be displayed over the top of the old waveform and may make the viewing pane
unreadable.

The numeric parameters for the waveform/train/group can be modified using the up/down
arrows immediately to the right of the displayed value. These parameters can be scrolled to the value
required for your setup. See next spage for a description of each parameter and it’s min/max. limits.
Figure 5
Turn On Delay: This is a delay prior to the first pulse issued. It can be set from 1 to 100
milliseconds.
Pulse Width 1: This is the width of pulse #1 and can be set from 1 to 100 milliseconds.
Interval 1: If a two pulse train is used, then this is the spacing between pulse #1 and pulse #2. It
can be set from 1 to 100 milliseconds.
Pulse Width 2: This pulse width can be set as in Pulse Width 1 or can be reduced to zero if no
second pulse is required.
Interval 2: This is the delay after the second (last) pulse in the train has been issued and can be
set from 1 to 100 milliseconds.
No of Trains: The number of pulse trains that can appear in a group are set with this control and
can be between 1 and 100.
Group Duration: This box shows the duration (in milliseconds) of a single group of trains. This is
calculated when the “Display” button is pressed.

No of Groups: The number of groups that can appear in this sequence are set by this controland
can be between 10 and 100.
Note: There are two “groups” and two “group intervals” displayed in the aveform
window, therefore the time will be double the time shown in the Group Duration window.
Group Interval: This is the time between each group of pulses, and can be set from 0.1 second to
10 seconds.
Total Seq Time: This box shows the duration (in seconds) of the entire waveform for each
channel. This is calculated when the display button is pressed.
