This command is optional. Y
ou do
not
have to use this command to set up the MLC. By default, during configuration, the configuration softwar
e associates the main event
script file (0.EVT) with hardwar
e events and button pr
esses. Once that event file has been compiled, it is capable of r
eceiving information fr
om the MLC’
s r
egister that tracks
hardwar
e actions and button pr
esses. In r
esponse to a detected button pr
ess or other hardwar
e happening, the event script can then tell the MLC to change r
elays, issue
commands, or make some other change. Y
ou would use this command only to associate a differ
ent event script file with tracking and r
esponding to hardwar
e/button actions.
