    AMX Lighting controller has provisions to set an individual low-end trim for each of the six dimming channels. The AMX Lighting dimming system employs a low-end cut- off that allows the dimmer to turn on to a specified level or to dim down to a specific level. The level at which the dimmer turns on is called the Low End Setting.
