CTC Backlight always on...

I expected the backlight to go off after the timeout period, but it stays on all the time - I'm worried that this will damage the screen.

The project has a timeout page and time set to 300 seconds - the screen does revert to the timeout page .... do I have to do something else to make the light go off?

Thanks...

 

The answer is obvious...

... disconnect the power !

Only kidding - have a happy easter

 

You need to open the "utilities" form on the colour C-Touch and set the properties for the backlight control.

 

CTC time out light still on

I have this same problem, I have looked though the site and found this answer, but I still can not get the back light to switch off, it times out ok but the light stays on, is it due to the fact that I am not connected to C-bus network I have still got the CTC on the bench to program, I can open the utilitys box but when I go to properties it just showes Hardware and software properties.

Thanks

 

No sure, although it is designed and tested for operation whilst connected. It is entirely plausable that some fucntions may not work as expected if not connected, even if they seem unrelated to c-bus.

 

I updated the firmware (2.2.2) in a B&W touch last night and the backlight says on all the time, have had a play with the threshold settings from max to min and still backlight stays on. Was not a problem with earlier version.

I assume you mean V2.22, supplied with PICED V3.8.

In V2.21, the ability to have the backlight on all the time was added. Due to a minor bug, a side effect of this was that if you wanted it to go off completely, it remained on very slightly. This was fixed in V2.22. See http://www.cbusforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2740

The threshold setting does not control the backlight brightness. There is a separate control on the backlight page which controls the backlight current (brightness) when "off".

Your correct with the version number.

The threshold setting does not control the backlight brightness. There is a separate control on the backlight page which controls the backlight current (brightness) when "off".
Never thought of that one (off level) thought it would be the on level
so set to zero and works correctly.
Must be the Irish in you to set brightnes when Off.

Is there any way to modify the Fall-Back Offset from logic? I would like to let the screen saver run for say 20 mins and then go to a offset of 100% and once there is activity again take the offset back to 30%.

Thanks in advance.


edit : Have since found out offset doesn't work as I thought however I cant force the unit to stay dim after timeout? are there any logic commands I can use with the screen saver?
