The different Emerald Driver settings and what they affect

*Requesting this to be converted into a sticky post (line may be deleted after doing so)*
Since there are more and more questions on what the different Emerald Driver settings mean and what they affect, here's a short but simple explanation of any of the settings:
Idle Pulse section
The second (Colour 1) and fourth (Colour 2) section of the colour bar can be clicked on which leads to colour selection mode. There you can use the sliders (Advanced Mode, recommended for fine-tuning) or you can use the colour picker (Easy Mode, recommended for initial colour picking). The sliders use percentages which can be converted into actual RGB values by using this formula:
RGB value = (% value/100) * 255 (round to whole number)
Colour 1 is the colour the saber will pulse to and Colour 2 is the base colour.
Back on the main Emerald tab, the four white lines on the colour bar can be used to set the different transition times and how long the colours should remain idle in .02 second increments. You can also set the total time for one complete Pulse cycle from 0 to 500 sec in .10 second increments.
Flash on Clash Pulse section
(sound sabers only)
Differences here are:
a) The colour bar shows the Idle colour (Colour 2) on the right and your Flash on Clash colour on the left only. There is no transition between the two as you have it in Idle Pulse Mode.
b) You have only one white line to set the duration of the two states.
c) You can set the total number of flashes that should occur within
one
trigger of Flash on Clash from 1 to 1000 in increments of 1.
Anything not mentioned here is the same as described in the Idle Pulse section.
Driver config
(on the very left of the main Emerald tab)
DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING HERE! DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE DRIVER AND/OR YOUR SABER!

Okay Rac... thanks for making me look dumb.
The stealth effect has worn off.
Have a point for another stellar piece of needed information.

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.
The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.

Yeah, it was a technical issue
Didn't want it to be posted like that...I hope it's as good as my Obsidian FAQ?

I learned about transition time. I don't have emerald, yet. I didn't know the pulse could be set to shift the color over time. I thought all transitions were instant with just times to stay each color. Your description helped me understand, and I went back to the video and confirmed. So, your post helped me understand that better. Thank you.

You're not totally wrong, OWK - with FoC you actually have instant transitions between your idle and FoC colours. But in Idle Pulse Mode you really have visible and adjustable colour shifts. That's what it makes so versatile and awesome - you can create really cool effects
And thx for all the points, D(ear)7
