METHOD OF BUILDING A DATABASE OF A LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A lighting control system is operable to control the amount of power delivered to a plurality of electrical loads. The lighting control system includes load control devices (such as digital electronic dimming ballasts), motorized window treatments, controllers, lighting hubs, and personal computers. The personal computer is preferably executing a graphical user interface (GUI) software, which allows a user to configure and monitor the operation of the lighting control system. The personal computer is operable to automatically discover the control devices of the lighting control system and to build a programming database for use in the GUI software. The personal computer is further operable to update portions of the programming information in the control devices of the lighting control system.
