USER DEFINED EVENT
A User Defined Event is the epitome of flexibility. This function allows you to create your own
event for serial controlled devices. This can be used to program events to turn off and on
monitors at specific times, or make matrix switches to devices not currently supported, or make
absolutely any RS-232 control command for your system. Click User Defined Event:
The most important block is the COMMAND STRING block. This is where you type in the
actual RS-232 command string to control your device. For instance, if you are commanding a
serially controlled switcher, the string found in that switchers manual might be something like
IN1OUT1 (meaning input one to output 1). Simply type that command string exactly as it is
shown in the device under control's manual—in our example, you would type IN1OUT1.
