ETC Unison Mosaic Designer v1.11.0 - Manual (Page 121)

Triggers - Conditions
Analog Input
The revised MSC hardware and TPC with TPC-RIO have 8 inputs that can be configured as digital or analog
inputs in the
Interfaces tab of the Network view. The RIO 80 and RIO 44 also have configurable inputs, see
Remote Devices .
You can specify a condition based on the current state of an analog input. Set Device to Local to use a Con-
troller's input or choose a RIO. Then select the input number and the percentage range of input voltage. The
voltage range of an Controller's or RIO's analog input can be configured in the Network view.
DMX In
This condition will test whether the last received value for a particular DMX channel is within the specified range.
The Port setting is only necessary if using DMX-IN Expansion Modules with the original MSC hardware. In this
case you can select between port 1 and 2 (in the order they are connected to the MSC).
Script
Use this to run a Lua script where the returned value determines whether the condition is true or not. Press
Launch Editor to open the script editing dialog. If you can not achieve what you want with the conditions provided
it is almost certain that a script can be defined to solve your problem.
The Unison Mosaic Controllers support a scripting language that can be used for handling complicated con-
ditional triggering or other advanced control requirements. The user can write scripts and set them to run in
response to any trigger event. From within a script you can do all the things that you can do with a trigger in the
triggers screen – access passed-in variables, test conditions and perform actions - but you can also define more
complicated conditional statements and perform mathematical operations.
Designer provides sample scripts which are located in Program Files at \ETC\Mo-
saic\Designer\resources\scripts\conditions.
WARNING: Scripts are an advanced feature intended to solve problems that cannot be addressed in any other
way. They are not as user-friendly as the normal triggers interface and incorrectly written scripts will not work as
intended and could cause other problems with the operation of your Controller. For help with writing scripts,
please see the
Trigger Script Programming Guide , or please contact support to discuss requirements for a par-
ticular project.
BPS Button
You can specify a condition based on the current state of a button. Select the BPS and button number and
whether it is pressed (Down) or not (Up).
Remote Device Online
Use this condition to determine if a Remote Device is online (or offline with "NOT" checked), select the type (RIO
or BPS) and its number.
