EmulationPro Manual
Actions
Within each Action-list you can create multiple Actions. For each Action you specify when it will be
triggered and which Tasks it will perform when that trigger occurs.
To change the details of an action, select it and press the EDIT button. This will open the Action page.
Flank
For most types of actions you can set the Oank. For example when editing a GPI action, it will be
triggered only on closing the contact (also known as 'normally open') when the speci*er is set to
DOWN. When set to UP, the action will be only trigger on opening the contact (a.k.a. 'normally closed').
Finally, when the speci*er is set to CHANGE, the action will be triggered on both closing and opening of
the contact.
Trigger
Specify the exact trigger on which to execute the tasks. In the case of a GPI action, the trigger denotes
the trigger port number (there are 4 ports on the Art SSC and 8 ports on an Art IO).
Tasks
You can specify up to 64 Tasks per action. When triggered, the Tasks are performed in the same order as
they are listed in the Action. Tasks can control various elements and protocols in EmulationPro, such as
playbacks, MIDI, OSC or *xture selection. Tasks can also be used to trigger other Actions, enable or
disable action-lists and start/stop the internal time-code.
Some tasks manipulate the software entities in the engine and other tasks control the user-interface of
EmulationPro; the latter are called 'Dashboard' tasks. For example there is a 'Playback Fader' task and a
'Dashboard Playback Fader' task. The 'Playback Fader' task has features like 'Go+' and 'Release', directly
changing the state of the playback. The 'Dashboard Playback Fader' task does, however, only control
the buttons and faders in EmulationPro that belong to that particular playback. This task allows you to
press and release the 'Oash' and 'go' button.
Because a Task can do a wide variety of things they are organized in diKerent Task 'Types'. When adding
a task a pop-up window will allow you to choose from the following types:
UDP Send a UDP message.
DMX Control the DMX channels in the 'Show Control buKer'. This data can be send out via the
DMX ports and/or Art-Net. Please set the 'Output Routing' in the Settings page
