Since VLP-16 support is new (thanks to you) but not yet released, it looks OK to make fixes affecting only that model.\r\n\r\nBut, we should not change the semantics of minimum and maximum intensity for other models in a way that would affect existing installations. If we decide the semantics of excluding out-of-range intensities is correct and the former clamping to the specified limits is wrong, then that change can be introduced in Jade, perhaps with a parameter to provide backwards compatibility for anyone who needs it."}}
