Applied firmware package: v1.3.0b5 | LDC software: v2.5.6b2
Linking a Macro (Action)
DIFFERENCE: This feature is available only
in UMX-HDMI-140-Plus model from FW
package v1.3.0b5.
Macros stored in the device can be run as
Actions. Thus, a lot of commands can be run
by using only one Event. The commands will
be processed one-by-one after each other.
#macro
Step 1.
Click on the
Edit
button of the desired
Event; the
Event editor
is displayed.
Step 2.
The wizard mode is the default, press
the
Macros
button in the
Action
panel.
Step 3.
Select the desired
Macro
from the list
then press the
Apply
button to store
settings.
If the
Use variables
option is enabled, you can
link a variable by the $ character. If you do so
(e.g. $1), the device will handle it as the V1 variable. You can send the value of the variable e.g. as a TCP
message.
See more information about the Macro settings in the
Macros section. #new
5.10.3. Special Tools and Accessories
The Name of the Event
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 set Event can be enabled or disabled in the Event list, or directly in the Event editor window by setting
the
tick mark
beside the name.
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
can be reset by
the button in Event editor. If the Condition is true, the
detected
mark turns green for two seconds and the
Counter
is increased.
Testing the Action
The method is the same as testing the Condition, but in this case, the Action can be triggered manually by
pressing the
Test
button.
TIPS AND TRICKS: The Test button is also placed on the Action panel in the Event list. Thus, you can
check 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
: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval only
if the Condition has been existing continuously.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
Show advanced expressions
option is a useful tool when you look for the path or value
of a property but just the expression is displayed. The option is available in the Event list window or when
Link tool is used.
Variables
DIFFERENCE: This feature is available only in UMX-HDMI-140-Plus model from FW package v1.3.0b5.
The variables and the tools (shown in the Control/Variables tab) can be used in the Event Manager.
Condition Wizard #variables #new
The desired variable can be checked if its value is changed to a specific value.
Action Wizard
The value of a variable can be set/changed by the same methods as in the Control/Variables tab:
▪ Setting the exact value
▪ Increasing the value with/without limits
▪ Converting the value (e.g. interval change)
▪ Scanning and storing, or reformatting a property/parameter
If the
Use variables
option is enabled, you can link a variable by the $ character. If you do so (e.g. $1), the
device will handle it as the V1 variable. You can send the value of the variable e.g. as a TCP message.
