## How the configuration code is built

_Source: Configurator page (the configurator) — https://betacalco.com/component/configbox/xacara-nc/configuration#configurator_

The configuration code is the answer codes of the questions below, in this order, joined by "/". A question that is not answered contributes its default code when it has one, otherwise nothing. Answers marked "(none)" contribute nothing. Questions that create sub-positions (accessories quoted as their own line) are not part of the code.

| # | Question | Default code | Luminaire code |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Luminaire (id 55) |  | yes |
| 2 | Bridgelux LED (id 56) |  |  |
| 3 | Reflectors (id 57) |  |  |
| 4 | Head/gimbal Finish (id 58) |  |  |
| 5 | Internal Finish (id 59) |  |  |
| 6 | Trim Finish (id 60) |  |  |
| 7 | Dimming (id 61) |  |  |

## Configurator: questions and answers

_Source: Configurator page (the configurator) — https://betacalco.com/component/configbox/xacara-nc/configuration#configurator_ · _Source: Full specification sheet (PDF, imperial) — https://betacalco.com/specsheets/xacara-nc/full/imperial_

Questions are listed in the order they appear. Answer codes are the code segments that make up the configuration code. IDs are the identifiers the configurator uses (question id = element id, answer id = option-assignment id).

Some questions and answers are only available in certain combinations of other answers. Those availability rules are not listed here; the JSON document carries them per question and per answer (`visible_when` as a sentence, `visible_when_rule` as the raw rule).

1 page(s), 9 question(s), 39 answer(s).
