Triggers - Variables
DALI Stop Emergency Test
The DALI ballast address on a specific interface can be passed in by variable. Select the relevant "Variable"
option and then choose the variable index.
Set Timeline Rate
You can select the timeline to modify with a variable (as for Start Timeline). You can also choose to pass in the
rate percentage using a variable.
Serial and Ethernet Output
In the same way that you can use wildcards to match data in a serial or Ethernet trigger, you can insert the value
of captured variables into your serial output messages. The same wildcard types are supported to define how to
output a variable:
Will output the value of a variable as a raw byte (0-255).
Will output the value of a variable as a decimal number (ASCII, 0-9).
Will output the value of a variable as a hexadecimal number (ASCII, 0-f). Any letters will be
lowercase.
Will output the value of a variable as a hexadecimal number (ASCII, 0-f). Any letters will be
uppercase.
Will output a captured string. will output the entire captured string. <4s> would output the
first 4 characters of the captured string.
As with input you can specify a length if you want to output the variable as a longer decimal or hexadecimal num-
ber. So a variable value of 175 output with <4d> would add ASCII "0175" to the serial output. Note that it is pad-
ded with leading zeros to fill the specified length. If the value was too large to express in the specified length it
would be truncated from the left, so <2d> would output the number 123 as ASCII "23".
Output strings are allowed to begin with a wildcard. By default each wildcard takes the next variable in the order
they were captured. If you want to output the variables in a different order then you can add a variable index to the
wildcard in the form <3,2d> where 3 is the variable index. If you specify an output wildcard where there is no cor-
responding capture variable then it will have value of zero and output accordingly.
MIDI Output
Short messages can output a captured value for data 1 and data 2. Pick a variable using the 'Variable Index' con-
trols. If data 1 is outputting a captured value, you can optionally send it as a 14-bit value, with the lower 7 bits in
data 1 and the upper 7 bits in data 2, by checking '14 bit variable'.
Outputting a MSC message allows you to set the cue number and/or list number by choosing a variable with the
'Variable Index' controls.
Extended messages allow you to output captured variables using the same syntax as serial actions.
