Linking a Macro (Action)
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is available only
in HDMI-TPS-RX110AY-Plus model from
FWpackagev1.5.0b3.
Macros stored in the device can be run as

by using only one Event. The commands will
be processed one-by-one after each other.

the
tick mark
beside the name.
Testing the Condition
WhenthedesiredConditionisarranged,thesettingcanbetested.TheEventlistandtheEventeditorcontains
a small panel that shows if the set condition is detected and how many times. The
Counter
can be reset by
the button in Event editor. If the Condition is true, the

Testing the Action
The method is the same as testing the Condition, but in this case, the Action can be triggered manually by
pressing the
Test
button.
TIPSANDTRICKS:
The Test button is also placed on the Action panel in the Event list. Thus, you can
check the Actions without opening the Event editor.
Delay the Action

is necessary between the Condition and the Action. Therefore, the new Event manager contains the Delay
panelwhichallowsthatfeaturewithbelowsettings:
▪
No delay
:whentheCondition
is detected, the Action is
launched.
▪
Simple delay
: when the
Condition is detected, the
Action is launched after the
set time interval.
▪
Still true after
: when the
Condition is detected, the
Action is launched after the set time interval only if the Condition still exists.
▪
Continuously true
:whentheConditionisdetected,theActionislaunchedafterthesettimeintervalonly
if the Condition has been existing continuously.
