Input Port Scripts
A script can be executed when a High to Low or Low to High state is detected on the Input Port. This is useful for
external detection of a switch or PIR.
To write a script for the Input Port:
1.
Click on either of the Input Port buttons in the System window (FIG. 87).

Program the script for the second press.

Bank Assign
A button can be assigned to one of three banks X, Y, or Z. Each bank can have up to four different functions. This is
useful if you have a common set of functions.
For example. You could have a single 'Play' button controlling up to four different devices (e.g. DVD, VCR, CD, MP3
player, etc). To achieve this the button must be Bank Assigned.
1.
Choose Button 1 to configure (in the System window), and select Button> Bank Assign. This invokes the Assign to
Bank window (FIG. 89):

If the ControlPad is busy when the state change occurs, the script will execute when the ControlPad is free.
