7.12. MIMO88 EVENTS section

A MIMO88 event is a small program routine converting a series of input stimuli (GPI ports, WPTOUCH or
MPAGE16 panel keys, etc..) in an action which could affect the value of a parameter (volume control,
mute control, etc..), load a Preset, enable or disable a GPO, etc.

Events can be of 5 types:

ANALOG: the stimulus takes a set of values within a range and the target is a control also
varying within a range. Example: a potentiometer connected to a GPI as a stimulus and the
volume control of an output as the target

DIGITAL SIMPLE: the stimulus can only take 2 values (1 or 0, open or closed, etc.) and the
target as well. Example: a switch connected to a GPI as a stimulus and the mute control of an
output as the target

DIGITAL COMPOUND: as above, but with multiple stimuli: up to 4 individual digital stimuli
combined using a Boolean logic gate (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, etc.). Example: two switches
connected as stimuli to their respective GPIs triggering a Preset (target) when one of them is
pressed (using for this an OR-type logic gate)

DIGITAL DELAY: you can set a delay time between the stimulus detection and the destination
triggering or event output, as well as a holding time of this activated status for the output (for
example: 10 seconds after detecting an external contact closure connected to a GPI, a relay
(GPO) status changes for 90 seconds, then returns to its previous state)

TIME SCHEDULER: the stimulus input time is based on a calendar with date and time of onset,
duration, days of the week it must be activated or not, repetition by time interval or number of
repetitions and end date. The MIMO88 has an internal clock that allows the management of such
events, even if not connected to a computer and synchronized with EclerNet Manager


Events programming is very simple, consisting of the following steps:

Selecting the input stimulus (or stimuli) and behaviour settings

Selecting how stimuli are combined (only for compound digital events)

Selecting the event target (triggered function)


The maximum number of events for the MIMO88 is 64. Events are stored at the Project or device level,
but not in the Presets. However, the state (enabled or disabled) for each event (configurable with "Event
Enable" from the event editor window) is stored as part of the data stored in each Preset, so that
recalling a Preset also restores the current combination of enabled and disabled events at the time of
saving.


Events are manually created and edited from a dedicated control list. Additionally, some events are
automatically created when you program a remote control from the REMOTES section, appearing in
grey in the list of events as they can only be viewed but not edited.
