6.7 The Add Timer Trigger

The Add Timer trigger lets the control system wait for a defined time or event to occur and then act accordingly.

6.7.1Power ON Example

In the following example, button 3 on the RC-63DLis used to turn the projector ON. If after sending the power ON command no suitable reply is received from the projector during the selected 5-second time period, the Timer trigger is executed (displaying some type of a visible alert to the user or resending the ON commands, as defined by the user).

If a suitable reply is received within the 5-second time period, it will trigger a predefined Monitor Event action list which stops the Timer trigger (see Figure 63) and prevents the alert or error from being sent.
