Open the tool. There is nothing to install, and it keeps working without internet.

Enter the system voltage, the watts per metre and the length. Watch what happens if you switch from 24 to 12 volts: the same sign then draws twice the current and tolerates half the drop, so it needs four times the copper.

Enter how far the driver sits from the sign and what conductor you plan to use. The graph shows the voltage falling: a straight line along the cable, a curve along the strip. If the far end drops below the red line, the last letters burn visibly dimmer.

Feeding from both ends helps, but not equally everywhere: the cable drop halves and the strip drop goes to a quarter. That is why you do it for the strip, not for the cable. A second wire is usually cheaper than thicker copper over the whole run.

Watch the quality message. Green means sharp enough, red means the photo is too small.
