Changing Display Brightness Level

Post by MuratE » Fri Jun 12, 2015 5:54 am

Hi All,

I intend to change display brightness level dynamically. Is it possible?

As far as I know there are two built-in variables:

Code: Select all

Brightness.Day
Brightness.Night
My PV780 configuration is for day. I create an event which increases Brightness.Day value every 500ms. Brightness.Day variable begin from 0. But display brightness never changes. Does display require power on/off cylcle to change brightness level? By the way, what are the minimum and maximum value for Brightess.Day/Brightness.Night variables?

Regards.

Hello Murat,

You are on the right track, Brightness.Day when the Day/Night is set to Day and Brightness.Night when Day/Night is set to Night are the variables to control.

The Murphy Standards both have adjustments to these and I would recommend you look in either of those configurations. If they don't help, let me know and I can help with more information.

Brightness.Day and Brightness.Night are %, 0-100.

Hi MuratE,

You have to execute the action System->Update Backlight((Empty)) after you change Brightness.Day, Brightness.Night or Day/Night to see the changes.
