WhiteCalUtility Installation and User Manual G Giulio A Lighting The WhiteCalUtility is designed to provide advanced configuration options for Giulio Lighting controllers such as the CT 001 and LC 002 driving RGB LED arrays Often the white light generated by RGB LED arrays contains more of one or two of the primary colors for example the white light may have a red or blue tint The WhiteCalUtility program allows the user to dynamically adjust the amount of red green and blue color used to generate white light Once a desired white is selected the program stores a set of calibration values in the controller so that it will automatically generate that white with the connected LED array It communicates with the Giulio Lighting controller via the LEDlink radio interface using an interface device such as the QualColor Touch Remote Control attached to the computer with a USB cable Important Information Please read through the remaining instructions before installing and using this software This software has been designed and tested to operate on the following platforms Its operation on other platform configurations cannot be assured 1 Microsoft Windows Platforms Windows XP with SP2 Windows Vista Window 7 e 25 MB spare disk space e Spare USB Port 2 Apple Macintosh Platforms Mac OS X 10 5 or later running on an Intel Processor e 25 MB spare disk space e Spare USB Port This manual assumes you have read and understand the U
