Features
Quickly develop software for use with DALI control gear
QE for Lighting & Power is easy to use. Just follow the workflow to create a sample project, make DALI settings, and generate source code, all through a simple GUI. After having compiled the source code, write your program to the evaluation board.
Use the simple GUI to configure parameters for DALI-based lighting control
You can select the individual parameters and enter their values.
If a value is incorrect, QE for Lighting & Power will show an error message.
QE for Lighting & Power supports the following items.
・DALI control gear libraries (compliant with IEC 62386-102)
・Particular requirements of IEC 62386-207 edition 1.0 (LED modules) for LED lighting
・Particular requirements of IEC 62386-209 edition 1.0 (color control) for production lighting
・Multiple types of LED dimming control (by the CPU or FAA)
・Combining different protocols for generating various sample applications
IEC 62386-102 + IEC 62386-207
IEC 62386-102 + IEC 62386-207 + IEC 62386-209
Simply click on GUI buttons for generating source code and writing to the evaluation board
・Click on GUI buttons to generate source code and compile it.
QE for Lighting & Power supports the following compilers:
Renesas CC-RL
IAR
・Click on a GUI button to make the Renesas Flash Programmer write the program to the evaluation board.
