Connect to LED driver
First insert the “USB programmer” into the USB port of the computer, and
connect the other end to the dimming wire of LED driver. Click “Connect” to
connect the software to the LED driver, as shown in the figure below.
If the connection is successful, the prompt “Succeed” will be displayed at the
top of the interface. If the power supply has been configured with a model
before, it will automatically switch to the corresponding model,otherwise it
will be the default model (User-defined).
At the same time, the U-I curve of the corresponding model is displayed on the
left. The curve display allows the working area (gray dotted box), programming
working area (blue area), constant power curve (red dotted line),output
voltage range (Vmin ~ Vmax), full power voltage range and other information.
The programming work area changes according to the set current.
Read LED driver parameters
Click “Read” to read the power parameter. This function can check the power
parameter configuration.
Readable parameters include:
- Set the current and dimming modes;
- Whether to turn off, dimming voltage, and whether to reverse logic dimming;
- Time-controlled dimming parameters;
- CLO parameters.
Set LED driver current
The output current of the power supply can be set according to actual needs.
As shown below. When different currents are configured, the U-I curve
programming work area changes according to the set current
change.
Select dimming mode
This software supports two optional dimming modes: “Signal Dimming” and “Timer
Dimming”.
Signal dimming includes “0-10V”, “0-9V”, “0-5V”, “0-3.3V” analog voltage
dimming and corresponding voltage PWM dimming.
Function button description

Set Signal Dimming
Select the “Signal Dimming” page to set related parameters.
-
Set the Cut-off function
If the Cut-off function is activated, check “Cut-off Setup” and ” Cut-off “. If the Cut-off function is not enabled,check ” Cut-off Setup ” and uncheck ” Cut-off “.
When you switch drive models, the shutdown setting will load the default settings for that model.
If “Turn on and off function” is checked, the product will turn off the output current (current is 0) when the dimming voltage is less than the “turn off value”; At this time, only when the dimming voltage recovers to more than “recovery value”, the output current will be turned on again, and greater than or equal to the “minimum value”.
When the “Turn on/off function” is not checked, the output current will not turn off and will remain at the “minimum value” or above.
Note: If the hardware of the power supply of a certain model does not support power off, please do not check “On/Off Function”. Shutdown and recovery use default values, which cannot be modified. -
Set the Dimming Voltage
4 types of Dimmer Voltage can be selected: 0-10V, 0-9V, 0-5V, 0-3.3V. It can be selected according to the actual dimming output voltage matching situation.
-
Set Reverse Dimming
Reverse dimming: namely, reverse logic dimming. The higher input voltage of dimming wire, the lower output current of driver, and the lower input voltage of dimming wire, the higher output current of driver.
To enable the reverse dimming function, check “Update reverse dimming settings” and “Reverse dimming”. If “Reverse Dimming” is not checked, it is positive dimming.
Signal Line Max. Voltage output: it takes effect when the option “Signal Line Max. Voltage” is checked. At this time,the dimming wires will generate output voltage, which is about 10-12V for “0-10V” and “0-9V”options, and about 5V for “0-5V” and “0-3.3V” options.
Setting the Timer Dimming
After selecting “Timer Dimming”, you can set the related parameters of timing
dimming. This software supports three types of timing dimming settings.
-
Traditional Timing
After the LED driver is powered on, it works according to the set “work step” time and output power. In this mode, the number of steps, time of every step and output power are always fixed. Users can configure the related parameters of steps marked in the red box as below according to their need.
-
Self-Adaption Percent
Check “Self Adapting-Percent” option, and select the reference period.
Self Adapting-Percent：
This function is to adapt to the case that the night time also changes with
the season, and the time length parameter of the timing dimming also changes
accordingly. To use this function, you need to set the parameters in “Set
time” first. The software will calculate the night time of today tonight
according to the night time (reference days) of the previous days. Assuming
“reference days” is set to 7 days, the average of the night time for the first
7 days is taken as the night time for tonight. Then automatically adjust
(according to the proportion of steps) the working time of each step (except
step 0) according to the night time of this evening. Example: Assume that the
parameters of each step are: Step 1 is 2 hours and 30 minutes and the power is
100%; Step 2 is 3 hours and 30 minutes and the power is 80%; Step 3 is 2 hours
and 0 minutes and the power is 50%. The total length of the three steps is 8
hours. According to the average of the night time in the previous 7 days, the
night time is 10 hours. Then the duration of step 1 will be automatically
adjusted to (2 hours and 30 minutes) × 10 ÷ 8 = 150 minutes× 10 ÷ 8 = 3 hours
and 7.5 minutes; similar to this calculation, the duration of step 2 will be
automatically adjusted to 4 hours
22.5 minutes, the duration of step 3 is automatically adjusted to 2 hours and
30 minutes. The initial night time is the traditional timed programming time.
Self Adapting-Midnight
Check “Self Adapting-Midnight” and set the reference days, midpoint, and
initial time.
Self Adapting-Midnight：According to the estimated lighting time, the curve are extended from the midpoint to the left and right respectively.
- “Reference days”: Same as “Self Adapting-Percent”, the night time of the previous few days.
- “Midnight” is the aligned time point, with a red vertical line.
- “Initial time(duration)” is the preset lighting duration, and the red horizontal line in the time axis.
- “Actual time(duration)”: The estimated lighting duration based on the reference days, the blue horizontal line in the time axis.
After the LED driver is turned on, it works according to the adaptive (actual time) step and time and output power. The area step curve shown in yellow in the figure below.
Note: Unlike the other two timing modes, the midpoint alignment steps use relative time settings. The start time of step1 is 15:00, and the other steps are arranged in order.
Read data record
Click “Read” to read the driver work log.
Power work log, including:
The current temperature, the historical maximum temperature, the last maximum
temperature, the current maximum temperature, and the total operating time of
the driver.

- “1.Current temp: Current drive temperature.”
- “2.Historical T_ Max: The highest temperature recorded in history.”
- “3.Previous time T_ Max: Record the highest temperature during the previous use.”
- “4.This time T_ Max: Record the highest temperature during this use.”
- “5.Total working time: Record the total working time.”
- “6.Firmware Ver.: Driver firmware version.”
Set CLO
Select “Start CLO (Constant Lumen Output)”, configure the working time and the
corresponding compensation current percentage, and click “Programming”.
The compensation current percentage is the set current percentage. The maximum compensation percentage changes according to the change of the set current, and the maximum cannot exceed 20% of the set current.
- Output voltage: Allowable working voltage range after compensating current.
- Output power: The output power range within the allowable working voltage range under the current setting current. The maximum value is the power after compensating the current.
