4.3  Operation 

 

 

Figure 5: Vega 

The Vega controller and the modules are displayed in the devices list 

 with the corresponding 

serial numbers and CAN IDs. Select a device to make it controllable in the control panels at the 
bottom.  The  Vega  modules  can  work  in  flicker  or  continuous  mode.  If  you  want  to  work  in 
continuous mode, set the “Flicker” slider to 0.0Hz. If not, set them to your desired flicker frequency 
by adjusting the slider or entering the value directly. If you are working in flicker mode with multiple 
modules, you can synchronize them. In this case, the master module is CAN_1. Synchronize the 
frequency  of  the  modules  to  CAN  ID  1  by  checking  the  box  next  to  the  module.  This 
synchronization also overwrites the previously set Flicker, Duty Cycle, Angle, Period Count, and 
Flicker Mode with the settings of the CAN_1 module. All Vega modules are set to synchronize by 
default. 

4.3.1  Module Controls 

The following controls can be set individually for each module. 

 

ON/Off state

: Each module can set the On/Off state, Flicker Mode, Intensity Interval, 

Phaseshift, Intensity, Flicker, and Duty Cycle. To switch a module on or off, select it and 
click on the light bulb
