D-Show Profile Guide 202
Editing an Action Type and Properties
To edit an action:
1
Double-click the action row in the list. Or, right-click the ac-
tion item and choose Edit.
2
Click the displayed action Type and make a new selection.
Action State
To edit an action State for switches, buttons and other two-state
functions:
■
Click the State pop-up menu and make a selection. Choices
for State vary as appropriate for the trigger type, and will in-
clude Closed or Open, On or Off, and Toggle.
Action Behavior
To edit action behavior:
■
Click the Behavior pop-up menu and choose Latch or While
Active, as appropriate:
Latch
Fixes the behavior in its defined state (such as open or
closed) until unlatched by another event or operation.
While Active
Latches the behavior in its defined state as long
the associated trigger is in effect (active, or “true”), such as un-
muting a channel only while a footswitch is pressed and held.
Pulse and Duration (GPI Output only)
Produces a single-shot
pulse output. Duration range is 0.1 second (100 ms) to 1.0 sec-
ond, in 0.1 second increments. The default duration is 0.3 sec-
onds (300 ms).
To configure GPI output pulse and duration for an action:
1
Double-click the action to edit it
2
Click the Behavior selector and choose Pulse.
3
Enter a value for Pulse Duration.
4
To confirm you changes, press Enter or click anywhere else
in the Events window.
Action Wait
All actions let you specify a Wait time of up to 100 seconds for
the action to wait before firing. This can be useful for synchro-
nizing the timing of multiple external devices, or to build
timed sequences of actions.
To configure action Wait (Delay):
1
Double-click the action to edit it.
2
To confirm your changes, click the Wait value to highlight
it, then type in a new value.
Selecting Actions
Actions can be selected using the same methods as used when
selecting items in the Event List. For more information, see
“Selecting Events” on page 198.
Managing Actions in the List
Actions can be moved, renamed, duplicated, and deleted by
right-clicking them and choosing the desired operation, just
as you can with triggers. For instructions on managing items
in the Actions List, follow the instructions for triggers in
“Managing Triggers in the Triggers List” on page 201.
Testing Events
An event can be manually triggered to test it, regardless of its
current Event Status or enabled/disabled state. Use this feature
to verify action properties and confirm proper operation of
devices connected to GPI output ports.
When an event is in Test mode, it is effectively considered true
until the event is manually reset. An Event in test can be
re-tested at any time by again pressing the Test button. You do
not have to reset in-Test events to re-test them.
Incoming triggers are ignored when events are in Test mode.
For example, if a footswitch event is being tested and you ac-
cidentally hit the footswitch at some point during the test, the
event does not revert to Active the moment Test is cancelled.
Events always return to their ready state following a Reset.
Events won’t re-fire until the trigger logic re-asserts itself as
true.
To test events:
1
Select one or more events in the Event List.
2
Click the Test button. Or, right-click an event and choose
Test from the pop-up menu.
3
When you're satisfied the event is behaving correctly, click
the Reset button. Or, Right-click an event and choose Reset.
(For more information, see “Resetting Events” on page 203.)
