6.7 The Add Timer Trigger
The Add Timer trigger lets the control system wait for a defined time or event to occur and then act
accordingly.
6.7.1 Power ON Example
In the following example, button 3 on the RC-63DL is used to turn the projector ON. If after
sending the power ON command no suitable reply is received from the projector during the selected
5-second time period, the Timer trigger is executed (displaying some type of a visible alert to the
user or resending the ON commands, as defined by the user).
If a suitable reply is received within the 5-second time period, it will trigger a predefined Monitor
Event action list which stops the Timer trigger (see Figure 63 ) and prevents the alert or error from
being sent.
