This allows the test to be chained with other conditions via AND, OR, NOT and XOR to be tested and cause one of the following (or multiple of the following) actions to take place:
Close Crosspoint
Inhibit Crosspoint
Assert GPI Output
Inhibit GPI Output
Assert GPI Output Local
Inhibit GPI Output Local
Force Talk Key Closed
Force Talk Key Open
Dim Crosspoint Volume
Load Setup File
Force Listen Key Closed

The user can construct these statements easily using selections chosen from pull down menus in the operating software. UPL is the answer to the time dependent routing described above.
Getting more difficult, there are cases where the possible actions and situations are much more complex, and an external computer or device of some type is involved.
An example of this is a large television complex where an automation or scheduling system assigns a given control room to a given studio. The routing switches, camera tally matrices, machine control, and intercom systems are expected to make appropriate assignments in support of that configuration.
Another example might be a group of conference rooms that can be combined or used individually as controlled by a system such as manufactured by Panja (AMX) or Crestron. Again, the intercom system must respond to these assignments from the external systems.
For this need, RTS™ has implemented a serial
To accomplish the following:
Force the following crosspoints:
