Controller Visualizer
The Controller Visualizer allows the user to drag and drop models onto the controller ports. All model setting are update and saved in real time. If the "Auto Layout Models" option is disabled for the controller, this dialog will only allow the user view the model port connections set in the layout tab.
Hover over a model to display its current settings.
The Box Size and Font Size sliders will change the size of the drag and drop boxes and font size.
The Status Message Box will display errors that are found in the current controller configuration. If an error is displayed, xLights will not upload the controller configuration.
To add a model, Drag a model from the right model list to the desired controller port on the left.
If adding a model to a controller port and the wrong number of ports are used, adjust the model string count in the Layout Tab.
To remove a model, drag a it from the controller port list on the right to the model list on the left.
Prints the controller model layout of the Visualizer Screen.
Saves controller model layout to a CSV file for editing.
Removal all the models from all the controller ports.
Change the physical number of strings i.e controller ports a model consumes. When used, xLights will attempt to adjust the Nodes Per String and Stands per String to preserve the original total pixel count of the model. Only works with Tree/Matrix/Custom Models.
Set the Smart Receiver ID for Falcon/Kulp/FPP/HinksPix Controllers. None is used for "Dumb" or normal receivers.
Set the Type of Smart Receiver. V1 "White" Receivers are "falconv1", "Blue" or "Black" Receivers are "falconv2" or "fppv2".
When enable, this will change the string order to proceed down the daisy chained receivers on the current "chain" of remotes. This is needed for controllers that don't support 'Virtual Strings' like the HinksPix Pro.
This allow multi-string models to use multiple smart receivers daisy chained together. When Cascade Remotes is set to 4, xLights will assign strings to 4 smart receivers chained together.
