5.9.6. Event Creating - Example
The following example shows you on a real-life situation how to set
up an Event.
The Concept
The UMX-TPS-TX140 is connected to a projector by the TPS output
port. The transmitter is also connected to the projector by the RS-232
port and can send commands via the serial line.
The task is to turn on the projector when signal is detected on the TPS
output port.
UMX-TPS-TX100 series – User's Manual
CONDITION
Signal is detected
on the TPS output
RS-232 Settings
Make sure that the serial line is established between the transmitter
and the projector. Check that the RS-232 settings of the transmitter
is set exactly the same which required for the projector: baud rate,
data bits, parity, stop bits. The transmitter needs to be set to: Control
protocol: LW3; and RS-232 mode: Pass-through. See the relevant LDC
settings in the RS-232 Tab section.
Setting the Event
You can create the Event in the Wizard in few simple steps:
Step 1. Set the condition.
Select the required parameters to set the condition:
▪ Category: Video;
▪ Expression: Signal is detected on a port;
Port: O1.
▪
Click on the Apply button to complete the procedure. When it is done,
the condition appears on the upper side in textual and LW3 command
format as well.
Step 2. Set the action.
ACTION
If the condition is fulfilled, the following action needs to be launched:
the receiver sends a command to the projector over the serial line:
▪ Power on - the required command which is accepted by the
projector: PWR0<CR><LF>
For this instance the command has to be closed with the <CR><LF>
Turn on the projector
characters so they need to be escaped. You can use the following
format for escaping:
<command
In the current case the command is: PWR0\x0d\x0a
Select the required parameters to set the action:
▪ Category: RS-232;
Expression: Send RS-232 message;
▪
▪ Port: P1;
▪ Message: PWR0\x0d\x0a
Step 3. Enable the Event.
Select the E1 enabled pipe in upper left corner to
set the Event as launched.
INFO: If you do not find the required category/
expression/etc what you need, choose the
Advanced mode in the Wizard where the entire LW3 structure tree
is available. For example instead of signal detection you can set a
specified resolution or color range either as a condition.
