K-CONFIG - Using the Triggers
Once the projector replies, the monitor event command is executed, the timer trigger is stopped and normal operation
is carried on.
, includes "ON reply from OFF". In some cases, the AV device will reply
differently to the same command, depending on its state. When building timers combined with monitor event
structures, be certain to take into account the various replies that may return from the AV controlled device and handle
each one of them with an appropriate Monitor Event trigger.
Note that a command name cannot include spaces. Some command names, in former versions had spaces.
For your convenience these command names will still appear with spaces. If you want to change these
names via the Common Commands Tree Editor, you will not be able to rewrite them back to their original
names (with spaces).

System Inactivity Example
In this example, the Timer trigger is used to perform a sequence of actions if no signals are fed into the controlled AV
room system for a predefined time period (for example, 20 minutes, see
). A switcher (for example – the
Kramer
VP-411DS
) will send out a dedicated serial command once all PC sources are disconnected. We will use this
command to trigger a 20 minute timer. Each action list executed during timer activity interval will start with a command
to stop this timer. Upon System Inactivity timer timeout, we will shut down the display device and perform other shut off
tasks.
Figure 232: Timer Events – Timer Trigger Flowchart: Inactivity Example
To indicate inactivity, you have to add a “Stop” trigger prior to the sequence of actions and a “Start” trigger upon
completion of the actions sequence.
This setup includes two steps:
Step I
: Define the Timer Trigger (which will be used for all the triggers)
Step II
: Define the Button (and other) triggers
