Trigger - Overview
Trigger - Overview
The Trigger window is used to “connect” your timeline programming to the outside world:
Controllers support a range of interfaces which can be used to trigger the playback engine including an internal
realtime & astronomical clock. For example, digital input #1 (connected to a wall panel) could be set to start
“Funky” timeline, “Advert” can be set to run on the hour every hour between sunrise and sunset and, at sunset,
“Cleaning” would start.
The window comprises three sections: On the left are the Trigger, Condition and Action directories. In the middle
is the trigger management area and the panes to configure the Triggers, Conditions and Actions are on the right.
Creating a trigger
To create a trigger, select and drag it from the directory and drop it onto the management area or press the but-
ton on the Trigger configuration pane and use the pull-down menu to select the required type, see basic ,
advanced and Remote Device triggers.
