The name of a port can be changed by typing the new name and clicking the
Set
button. The following
characters are allowed when naming:
Letters (A-Z) and (a-z), numbers (0-9), special characters: hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), and space ( ).
Enable or Disable an Event

the

Testing the Condition
When the desired Condition is arranged, the setting can be tested. The Event list and the Event editor contains
a small panel that shows if the set condition is detected and how many times. The
Counter

the button in Event editor. If the Condition is true, the

pressing the

the Actions without opening the Event editor.
Delay the Action
In most cases the Action is performed immediately after the Condition is detected. But sometimes a delay
is necessary between the Condition and the Action. Therefore, the new Event manager contains the Delay
panel which allows that feature with below settings:
▪
No delay
: when the Condition 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 for
: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval
only if the Condition has been existing continuously.
