    you can achieve various level using scenes which are programmed inside the input in Toolkit.
    So yes you can have a mix of levels for different lamps from the same button.
    The training manual explains this and also the help file, If possible make up a test rig with some real loads connected and have a practice programming. I think you will achieve what you initially want. But they will all start at the same time, unless you have some form of logic engine.

    Thanks, I'm figuring it out more day by day.

    What type of logic engine can do it? I have a server permanently hooked up to my C-bus system via RS-232 interface. Had a look at Schedule Plus but haven't got a clue where to even start.

    What would you recommend?

    Schedule Plus has a buit in logic engine, start by looking at the samples that come with it.
    There is also an excellent link here on the forum especially for logic questions and sample code.
    It can run from your PC.

    No problem,
    Also shd plus also has samples of all sorts of setups to browse for ideas in the project/samples directory.
