Switching Content From Another Device
It is possible to change a variable remotely from another device simply by creating a shared variable object with the name of the control variable suffixed by the @ sign and the hostname or IP address of the target device, and if not using the default port, followed by a colon and the port number. For instance for the control variable “menu” on the device “target”, the variable name is “menu@target”.
To generate this command you can use the menu_buttons.svg template located in the Interactivity folder. (For more information on the Interactivity folder, please refer to Interactivity Template Files on page 63.). This template let you
configure 'buttons' and associate each button with a given action. This template can be used to control local or remote shared variables depending on the presence of the @ sign in the variable name.
The example below shows the configuration of the file to control the value of the variable 'menu' located on the remote 192.168.1.10 host (FIG. 50).
