XIM Programming Tool: Form
• Small, dedicated computer in an aluminum housing, with a custom PCB, running Xicato software on a Linux operating system – 5.1V power input – 4 USB ports for connection of keyboard, mouse, etc. – Full HDMI port for connection of monitor – RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Ethernet – 802.11n wireless LAN (Wifi) - disabled by default – MicroSDHC card slot
• 16GB MicroSD card preloaded with XCT software • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) dongle • Two (2) XIM wiring harnesses • Power supply unit (PSU): Universal AC to 5.1V, 2.5A

XCT Features
• Works for standard XIM and XIM Gen4, and other future products
• Allows fixture manufacturer to set maximum XIM flux (50-100%) that cannot be changed in the field – Multiple luminaires in the same family can use one XIM model (reduces XIM SKUs in inventory) – Allows tuning of luminaire to accommodate smaller heat sinks or more challenging thermal
environments
• Allows manufacturer to add 48 octets of their own data to the configuration data stored in XIM – 12 bytes for serial number – 36 bytes unconstrained text field, which can include company name, luminaire model, etc.
• Allows manufacturer to set default values prior to installation
5
Non-User Modifiable Configuration
• NOT user configurable – controllable only by OEM using XCT
• Flux can be set between 50-100% of module maximum
• Serial number can be entered manually, or incremented either from zero or from a preset value (e.g. date+number)
• Free Use text field allows up to 36 characters – anything you like, e.g.: – Jim Brown Lighting, Superlight LED210 – Jim Brown. Support: +1-555-123-4567
6
User-modifiable Pre-Configuration
• Convenience feature: User modifiable during or after installation
• Presets for – Flux range – Dimming curve type – Power-on behavior – 1-10V and DALI settings
7
Additional Features
• Configuration files can be saved (exported) and loaded later (imported) for repeated use
• Separate Setup and Production modes with independent passwords – Setup done e.g. by Engineering – Production mode for assembly line workers
• XCT checks your work – Verifies that settings are valid for the
connected module – Verifies that the settings are properly loaded
into the module

Xicato Configuration Tool – Who needs it?
SKU reduction: one XIM / many products Inventory reduction
Design flexibility Thermal optimization: tune module flux to heat sink Tune flux to meet thermal challenges in installation
Electronic Branding! - Company name - Model name & number
“About this device” information - Company name and model - Product serial number - Date of manufacture? - Installation date? - Project name? - Installer ID?
Example Applications
• For Operations: SKU and Inventory Reduction – XIM 2000LM can address 1000LM, 1500LM, and 2000LM fixtures – XIM 4000LM can be used in 2500LM, 3000LM and 4000LM fixtures – Inventory is shared between products, simplifying forecasting and stocking
• For Engineering: Thermal Optimization – Step 1: use XIM’s integrated temperature data reporting to determine maximum sustainable output
for your fixture mechanical design – Step 2: use XCT to set maximum flux to prevent overheating in the field
• For Marketing: Electronic Branding – Add your company name, product brand and model to every XIM’s configuration data reporting
• For Customer Support: Tracking and Self-help – Company name, model, and serial number facilitate support – Can also add contact info (phone, email, URL)
