be set to 1. For the original MSC hardware this should be set to 1 if using the onboard RS232 port, or 2 or 3 if
using an RS485 expansion module. For the MSC X this should be set to 1 or 2, depending which RS232 port is
being used.

Alternatively, set the Device to a RIO and select the RIO number.

Now define the string of output characters. There are three formats in which serial strings can be entered:

Hex

A series of hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f, A-F) where pairs of values are interpreted as a
byte.

Decimal

A series of decimal characters (0-255) separated by "." characters.

ASCII

A series of ASCII characters. The special characters '\n' for new line, '\r' for carriage return,
and '\t' for tab are supported.

Ethernet Output

Use the Controller setting to specify which Controller should generate the Ethernet output. Define the recipient's
IP address and Port, select the messaging protocol (UDP, TCP) and define the string of output characters to be
transmitted. The recipients IP address and port number can be passed with variables.

MIDI Output

MIDI is another very popular protocol for interfacing equipment and the MIDI input trigger allows you to define, via
a convenient MIDI Message Builder, the type (Short message, MIDI Show Control or Extended) and command
string that is to be output.

Use the Controller setting to specify which MSC's MIDI port should be used as the output. To use the MIDI port
on a RIO A, set the Device to RIO A and specify the RIO A number.

Press Edit to open the Message Builder:

Press Insert New, select one of the three message types and then the specific command and variables.
