Shading Control Macro

An shading control macro is used to describe a custom control strategy for external or integrated shading devices in windows.

See Custom control for general information about control macros.

The output signal should be connected to the pre-defined Shading interface reference on the border of the macro (from 0 to 1, 1=fully shaded). For Venetian blinds (for detailed window models only), the controller may provide an additional output connected to the SlatAngle (in degrees [°]) interface reference on the border of the macro. The angle is zero when the slats are horizontal and positive when the upper sides of slats are facing outside.

The control macro has a parameter, Light Control. If the value of this parameter is True, the control algorithm is combined with standard light control of integrated shading, as described in documentation for the window and detailed window.

The window shading schedule may be used only inside the control macro (it is NOT combined with the output signal).
