The steps to set up the EVENTS system are as follows:
1.
Define
- trigger sources
2.
Configure
- triggers by logical combination of pre-defined trigger sources
3.
Set up events
- by selecting presets or GPOs or bypass blocks or measurement controls
4.
Create actions
- what should happen? Which trigger will launch which event?
The following explanations refer to the factory default settings of the EVENTS system.

The number of hotkey triggers is not limited. You may also add virtual hotkeys which can be used by a
graphical UI for example that may have more than 8 compared to the X*AP RM

.
Setup GUI – EVENTS – Triggers – Sources – Network
Network triggers are based on the EmBER+ protocol. See
code.google.com/p/ember-plus/
for details.
The D*AP4 receives such triggers over the TCP/IP network. The triggers are issued by a remote device
or a broadcast automation system. You may assign these triggers to virtual panels, physical buttons or
play list events, of Ember+ enabled control instances.
