• You can test the actions you created by clicking the Test Action button. Note that you can also test Actions via
the Action Viewer by clicking on the checkmark to the right of each Action. Alternatively, the Enter Command
screen can be a useful tool for testing and troubleshooting Actions (see Appendix A.5).
4. Define Events
With your collection of discrete Actions defined, you can now specify what Events will cause one or more of those
Actions to be executed.
In most cases, a user clicking a button in the Teacher Edition or issuing a voice command is what tells the Juno Connect
that an Event has occurred; however, you are also free to specify any general purpose input you wish as a Trigger.
To create or edit an Event:
Select Event Definition. (Note that it may be more convenient to navigate to previously defined Events via the
•
Event Viewer.)
You can move through various Events using the buttons at the top of this screen. (CAUTION: Save your work
•
on the current Event before navigating away or your changes will be lost!)
• Edit New Event: Lets you modify the Event definitions for a saved Action.
• Paste to New Event: Useful for cloning the current Event (displayed in the black strip labeled "Currently
editing Event Number xx.") to another Event. Change the New Event field to the number of the target
Event and click the Paste to New Event button. The current Event data will be copied to the target Event.
(CAUTION: This will overwrite the target Event!)
• Edit Previous Event: Moves to the previous Event record
• Edit Next Event: Moves to the next Event record.
• Edit Next Empty Event: Moves to a new undefined Event record.
• Edit Next Defined Event: Moves to the next defined Event (skipping over any undefined records)
• Give the Event a useful description (e.g., "Power On")
• If you want to have the Event initiated by clicking a button in the Teacher Edition Control application, you will
need to assign a button to this Event in the Teacher Edition Control application editor (see Teacher Edition
User Guide).
• If you want to have the Event initiated by a general purpose input signal, make a selection in the Event Trigger
dropdown. When the general purpose input is triggered, it will execute the event.
• You can have multiple Events with the same input trigger. When that defined trigger is detected by the Juno
Connect all the matching Events will be executed in no particular order. For each such Event, the Actions for
the Event will execute according to that Event's mode setting (see below); however, Actions for different Events
may be intermingled with each other. If you care about the order in which Actions happen, put them all in a
single Event and set the mode to Each.
