Application Notes 7-11
Next, we choose the
Resources | LCD Strings…
menu and create the
display messages that will be seen on the V16+ LCD Display before, during,
and after each show.
Finally, we go to the
Resources | Data Strings…
menu and create some
serial strings for use in our sequences. This allows us to construct
specialized serial messages that are not constructed by the script compiler.
Do not enter search and play commands here. They are created
automatically. This
is the place, however, to define custom messages to be
sent to the printer and RCC.
In a more complex show we could design a custom serial protocol for the
RCC into a Protocol File, but since we will only be sending it one “start”
message, we will keep the message in the Data Strings configuration for
simplicity. In a real show situation, the messaging might be more complex,
so please refer to your specific equipment manuals for information on serial
protocols.
