You can create custom variables in number or text format which can be used in the Event Manager. The
variablescanhavethefollowingproperties/methods:
#variables
▪
Numeric(integer)typewithmin/maxvaluesetting,orstring-type(determinedautomatically)
▪
Increment/stepthenumericvalue,
▪
Value-dependentcaseoperations,
▪

▪
The max length of a string variable can be 15 characters. Numeric variable is defined between
-2147483648and2147483647.

This section can be used for numeric types.

setting, the max will be valid; if the result would be lower than the min setting, the min will be valid

(min/max),thevaluewillbesteppedtotheotherendoftheinterval.
Examples
The following shows the difference between the
Add
and the
Cycle
options. The input values are the same
inbothcases:
▪
Min
:1
▪
Max
:5
▪
Operand
:1
In
Add
case:whenthevaluehitsthelimit(max),theoperandwillnotincreasethevalueanymore.
In
Cycle
case:whenthevaluehitsthelimit(max),thevaluewillbesteppedtotheotherendoftheinterval.
Similarcasehappensviceversa:whentheoperandisanegativenumberandthevaluehitstheminvalue.
TIPSANDTRICKS:
Set min=1, max=2, operand=1 and use the
cycle
method. Thus, the value of the variable
canbetoggledwhichcanbelinkedtoapropertywithtwostates(e.g.low/highlevel)inEventmanager.

and the change will be performed only if you press the
Convert
button. A typical example when two different
rangesofvalueshavetomeet:
Incoming values:
between 0 and 255 (e.g. the slider of a controller can have these values).
Outgoing values:
between 0 and 100 (e.g. the controlled device accepts these values).
