of the device. In this instance we have selected device 1, which is a control surface located
at 192.168.87.202. The
OnLine
indicator will be green if the program is able to connect to
the selected device, or red if not.
Once the device is selected you must compose a command string appropriate to the
device. In our example we want fader 1 on the surface to turn on when the command is
issued. The basic format for a fader on/off command to a surface is this:
<INPUT:x|ON:y>
where
x
indicates the fader number and
y
indicates the desired fader state, with 1 indicating
on and 0 indicating off. This command is entered in the
Compose String
field. Note that
letters are automatically converted to upper case when entered, so there is no need to use
Shift or Caps Lock.
Once you have composed the desired command string you may want to test it. Press the
Test button and the string in the
Compose String
field will be sent to the selected device.
When you are sure the command string is doing what you want, press Enter. This copies
the command string from the Compose String
field to the Event ACI Command String field.
If you have composed a command string you think you may need again press the Save
String
button. The program can remember up to 50 command strings this way.
Note that when you scroll to an already defined ACI Event the programmed device
information will be shown, and command string will appear in the Event ACI Command
String
field.
As previously mentioned, it is beyond the scope of this manual to list all of the
ACI commands available for your use. Please contact Wheatstone Technical Support

requirements.
Edit Events
If you have an existing event that you want to modify, you once again need to be on
the
Event Properties
dialog. If you are already on this form you can use the ID spin dial
to scroll to the event you want to change. Or if you are at the main window and viewing
the
Event Manager tab you can highlight the event and click
Edit or select
Events>Edi
t
from the menu. The process of editing an event is to change the Event Properties
from the
current settings to the desired settings. The pertinent information has already been discussed.
Schedule Events
With a few events in the Event Manager list, your main screen, Event Manager tab,
could look like this:
