![]() What sort of functionality would I lose with the AI controller vs hooking it up to the profilux? The money is kind of moot--$80 for the AI controller vs. $80ish for the PLM USB
Would sharing the sole RS232 port work? I don't really hook up to the laptop that often. Is there any risk to the profilux unit if I've designated the rs232 port for the AI lamp in the menu and then plug into my laptop with it? |

![]() Hi
yes you cna share the port, you first program the controller to do what you want then plug the lamp in. GHL has lot more day and lunar functions than the Ai controller, it is also easier to have everything under one hat. |

![]() Or connects the profilux through your network cable? That's how I program my profilux.
