The Driver Manager
9.1.3Creating Serial Range Commands
It is useful to write serial commands to a table if they include an adjustment range (for example, the volume level data ranges from 0 to 64). The table command table includes a list of indexed serial commands in sequence (the line number) that the controller should send out once reaching this line.
In the action lists, the configurator will be able to jump to a certain line (useful on device startup to specify the line to use as the startup state), move up one line and move down on line. These options make it very easy to control range based AV settings (volume, brightness and so on).
The three actions associated with the Table structure can be part of any action list - turn of a volume knob on an RC device or any button on an RC device or even a timer trigger. The Table also lets you link the volume LEDs to the range level.
For example, driver commands that define the volume level (from 0 to 64) can be inserted in the Table area in the Driver Manager window. The table is then included in a trigger that lets you change the volume level to a set value with each press of a button or turn of the knob (for digital audio).
To create a Command Table:
1. In the driver manager, define the Vendor, Device and Revision:

2. Define a new command table name (the name should not include spaces):
