Variables

Every DALI control gear for color/color temperature control has a certain number of variables (parameters ) from which it is possible to read a variety of information or to modify individual parameters.

Some variables can be read directly via DALI commands (e.g. FB_DALIV2QueryColourStatus or FB_DALIV2QueryRGBWAFControl). The function block FB_DALIV2QueryColourValue can be used to read additional variables.
