LaMPS module extension for visualization: devices template
- Wolfgang Granzer
The Devices template is used to visualize the information at device level i.e. for each device you will get separate control elements.
Table view
For using a table view, select Modules > LaMPS > Devices > Table … The following configuration dialog will open:
Table template: here you can choose the template. The default one is NETx1. However, you can create your own templates.
Gateway: select the gateway that contains the DALI devices that you want to visualize
Start Device: enter the first DALI device address in your DALI gateway. Please keep in mind that not existing devices can be skipped with the option Skip invalid Devices.
Number of Devices: enter the number of DALI devices in your gateway.
Skip invalid Devices: if a DALI device is not existing in the current workspace, the corresponding element will not be shown. This option can thus be used to auto-detect the used DALI devices.
Position ( top, left ): initial position of the visualization elements.
Row gap: gap between the rows of the table
After pressing ok, you will get 4 elements: the table itself and 3 pop-up groups.
The table gives an overview of the DALI devices of the selected gateway:
When you press the Details button of a DALI device row, the Device pop-up group will appear. It contains the detailed information of the device:
If the DALI device is a single-battery-powered emergency light, you can open the emergency details pop-up by pressing the emergency button:
If the DALI devices has additional function like on/off switch or information about the operating hours, you can click on the … button to show these additional information in a separate pop-up:

Column number: number of devices in one array row.
Position ( top, left ): initial position of the visualization elements.
Column gap: gap between the array elements.
Row gap: gap between the rows of the array.
After pressing ok, you will get the array elements, the gateway overview group and 3 pop-up groups.
The array elements can be moved to any place at the visualization page. E.g. you can distribute them over a floor plan:
