Parameter | Value | Description |
None | Up to firmware release 4.24: The stored values for all channels are queried. From firmware release 4.25: The current values for all channels are queried. | |
Channel | “A” | Channel 1 of the XLC4 control unit |
“B” | Channel 2 of the XLC4 control unit | |
“C” | Channel 3 of the XLC4 control unit | |
“D” | Channel 4 of the XLC4 control unit | |
“E” | Corona II module connected to channel 1 | |
“F” | Corona II module connected to channel 2 | |
“G” | Corona II module connected to channel 3 | |
“H” | Corona II module connected to channel 4 | |
Current | Integer value | Defines the output current rating in mA. The value range is from 200 to 1800. The maximum current value may be limited due to a the LED color of a connected Corona II module:

Save state | “W” | The current values are stored as new default values. |
Read option | “S” | From firmware release 4.25: The stored values are queried. |

General notes | ||
If the value for the current is higher than the maximum value an error is indicated. If no channel is specified the command is applied to all channels. | ||
Example
Without parameter
Query | Response |
|---|---|
IY | iy 1000 , 1000 , 1000 , 1000 |
Returns the stored/current values.
With Read option
Query | Response |
|---|---|
IY S | iy 1000 , 1000 , 1000 , 1000 |
Returns the stored/current values.
With Channel
Query | Action |
|---|---|
IY A 1000 | Channel A is set to 1000 mA |
IY E 450 | Current is set to 450 mA for Corona II module connected to channel 1 |
IY G 500 | Current is set to 500 mA for Corona II module connected to channel 3 |
With Current
Query | Action |
|---|---|
IY 1000,1000,1000,500 | Channel A, B and C are set to 1000 mA. Channel D is set to 500 mA. |
IY 1000,1000,1000,500 W | Channel A, B and C are set to 1000 mA. Channel D is set to 500 mA. All values are set as default. |
IY 300 | All channels are set to 300 mA. |
Store values as default with save state
When the character “W” is set at the end of the command IY the values are stored as default values.
Query | Response |
|---|---|
IY , space , [channel] , space , current , space , “W” | iy , space , channel , space , current , space , “W” iy , space , current , current , current , current , current , space , “W” |
Default values are set:
after switching on the XLC4 control unit
after setting the control unit to Bulb mode and switching on again the control unit.
