French term or phrase: consigne groupée
Hello all,
This comes from publicity material for backlit publicity signage for display in public places. Is it to do with settings/set-points? Many thanks for any help.
Luminosité. Asservissment de la puissance lumineuse: calendaire, consigne groupée, luminosité ambiante.

grouped set-points
Explanation:
Possibly: set-point grouping

I'm putting a low c/l as I've no specific experience of this actual term; but I think your idea is right: this would be so that a whole group of illuminated box signs can be adjusted to the same brightness level together, to avoid having to set them all individually and possibly risk uneven illumination.

You often see signs grouped together in an 'array' (like a non-moving video wall!), or they could just be all the signs in a row in one place, for example — or even all the signs distributed around a given location (though in that case, minor brightness differences wouldn't be important)
