This tutorial demonstrates the different methods for operating the overhead lights and illustrates the commands needed for the seven LED light colours available - red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, white. The overhead lights are approximately 300-400 lux. It is possible to adjust the brightness of the overhead lights using the Zcommand. This is explained in detail on the Zcommand support page.
Overhead lights via CN3B
This code is for when the overhead lights are plugged into the socket CN3B on the upper board of the top box.
SET(GPO6,1) #RED LED SET(GPO6,0) SET(GPO7,1) #GREEN LED SET(GPO7,0) SET(GPO8,1) #BLUE LED SET(GPO8,0)
SET(GPO#,1) turns on the specified LED when a 1 is placed after the comma. SET(GPO#,0) turns off the specified LED when a 0 (zero) is placed following the comma. Through turning the primary LED colours on and off in varying combinations, you can create the additive LED light colours.
- GP06 controls the RED LED
- GP07 controls the GREEN LED
- GP08 controls the BLUE LED
CN3B example script

Overhead lights via CN3A
This code is for when the overhead lights are plugged into the socket CN3A on the upper board of the top box.
SET(GPO3,1) #RED LED SET(GPO3,0) SET(GPO4,1) #GREEN LED SET(GPO4,0) SET(GPO5,1) #BLUE LED SET(GPO5,0)
SET(GPO#,1) turns on the specified LED when a 1 is placed after the comma. SET(GPO#,0) turns off the specified LED when a 0 (zero) is placed following the comma. Through turning the primary LED colours on and off in varying combinations, you can create the additive LED light colours.
- GP03 controls the RED LED
- GP04 controls the GREEN LED
- GP05 controls the BLUE LED
CN3A example script
ACTION OVERHEAD_LIGHTS_CN3A #OFF SET(GPO3,0) SET(GPO4,0) SET(GPO5,0) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) #RED SET(GPO3,1) SET(GPO4,0) SET(GPO5,0) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) #GREEN SET(GPO3,0) SET(GPO4,1) SET(GPO5,0) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) #BLUE SET(GPO3,0) SET(GPO4,0) SET(GPO5,1) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) #YELLOW SET(GPO3,1) SET(GPO4,1) SET(GPO5,0) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) #MAGENTA SET(GPO3,1) SET(GPO4,0) SET(GPO5,1) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) #CYAN SET(GPO3,0) SET(GPO4,1) SET(GPO5,1) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) #WHITE SET(GPO3,1) SET(GPO4,1) SET(GPO5,1) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) COMPLETE
Overhead lights via CN8
This code is for when the overhead lights are plugged into the socket CN8 on the lower board of the top box.
LIGHTS(LIGHT16,RED) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,GREEN) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,BLUE) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,YELLOW) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,MAGENTA) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,CYAN) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,WHITE) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,ON) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,OFF)
LIGHTS(LIGHT16,colour_name) turns on the overhead light as the colour named after the comma. Using LIGHTS(LIGHT16,ON) will turn on the overhead light as white.
CN8 example script
ACTION OVERHEAD_LIGHTS_CN8 LIGHTS(LIGHT16,RED) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,GREEN) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,BLUE) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,YELLOW) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,CYAN) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT16,MAGENTA) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(ALL,OFF) COMPLETE
External light clip
This code is for when the external light clip is plugged in. The external light can be plugged into either CN7 or CN8 on the lower board of the top box. The external light is controlled via the LIGHT15 command.
LIGHTS(LIGHT15,RED) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,GREEN) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,BLUE) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,YELLOW) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,MAGENTA) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,CYAN) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,WHITE) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,ON) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,OFF)
LIGHTS(LIGHT15,colour_name) turns on the external light as the colour named after the comma. Using LIGHTS(LIGHT15,ON) will turn on the overhead light as white.
NOTE: LIGHT15 and LIGHT16 can not be used simultaneously.
External light example script
ACTION EXTERNAL_LIGHT LIGHTS(LIGHT15,RED) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,GREEN) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,BLUE) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,YELLOW) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,CYAN) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(LIGHT15,MAGENTA) WAIT(WAIT_TIME) LIGHTS(ALL,OFF) COMPLETE
