ETC Unison Mosaic Designer v1.11.0 - Manual (Page 115)

Triggers - TPC triggers
set red, green and blue, so coupling the TPC Colour Change trigger with the Set Fixture RGB action requires very
little configuration.
TPC Keypad Code
When the Enter key on a keypad is pressed, triggers of this type will be checked for a match. Set the Controller
number to a particular TPC in order to populate the Keypad drop down list from the Touch Editor project (see
Con-
troller Properties ).
The Keypad field should be set to the Control Key of the keypad you're interested in - this is a property of keypads
that is set in Touch Editor. Either pick a control key from the list, or type it in. You can use one trigger to respond
to multiple keypads by using variables - the syntax is the same as for
Serial and Ethernet Input triggers, e.g.
keypad<3d> will match a keypad with the control key keypad001 or keypad002, etc. and capture the number as a
variable. See
actions that use variables for how to make use of the captured variables.
The code entered into the keypad will be captured as a variable. The keypad code will always be the first variable
- any variables captured from the control key string will be stored in subsequent variables.
TPC Page Change
Whenever the current page of a TPC user interface is changed, triggers of this type will be checked for a match.
Set the Controller number to a particular TPC in order to populate the Page drop down list from the Touch Editor
project (see
Controller Properties ).
The Page field should be set to the name of the page you're interested in - this is a property of pages that is set in
Touch Editor. Either pick a page name from the list, or type it in. You can also specify wether you want the trigger
to fire when entering or leaving that page. You can use one trigger to respond to multiple pages by using variables
- the syntax is the same as for
Serial and Ethernet Input triggers. See actions that use variables for how to make
use of the captured variables.
TPC Inactivity
Whenever the sleep/awake state of a TPC screen is updated, triggers of this type will be checked for a match.
Set the Controller number to a particular TPC in order to trigger for the correct controller. Choose whether to trig-
ger after a period of inactivity or when the TPC becomes active (is touched) again.
The timing for when the controller is set to inactive is in the Controller Properties area of the Network tab.
Temperature
The TPC has a temperature sensor, which can be used in triggers.
Use the Controller to specify which TPC should be considered the input source. Select the units as Celcius or
Fahrenheit, then choose how to respond to changes. You can choose whether to trigger every time the tem-
perature changes within a specified range ("Changes in range"), or to only trigger when the temperature enters a
specified range ("Enters range"). "Enters range" is generally more useful when you are using temperature
changes to trigger timelines, but "Changes in range" would be required if you were using the temperature reading
as a
variable passed to a Set Intensity action to control the intensity for a group.
