The Virtual Device – an Application Example

Figure 8: Sending and Receiving Commands

Important – The Master RC can send mostly button status/lighting and text field commands to its K- Net Aux devices. However, the competent developer can easily use a combination of virtual buttons defined as a property of the Virtual Device in K-Config and use these messages as global variables and other powerful options to enable application flexibility.

For example, Button #15 in Virtual Device #12 is not seen on the Virtual Device application. Instead, its color status is changed as part of the K-Config action lists and it is used a global variable. The Virtual Device application will check it when needed (If BTN15=BLUE then…., If

BTN15=RED then…).
