Condition Triggering
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is
available only in UMX-TPS-TX140K
and TX140-Plus models from FW
package v1.5.0b4.
This improvement works as if a
condition is detected. When a complex
control system is built, a Condition may trigger numerous Actions. A typical example is when a system is
powered on and the 'ready-to-use' state has to be loaded. In this case, there could be many actions which
are based on the same condition. In order to reduce the number of the commands, you can trigger one 'key'
condition, which could start the whole process.

5.10.6. 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.
Applied firmware packages: (UMX-TPS): v1.5.0b4 | (WP-UMX-TPS): v1.4.0b8 | (FP-UMX-TPS): v1.4.0b8 | LDC software: v2.5.6b2

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.
