6.6 The Monitor Event Trigger
The monitor event is a trigger that activates a sequence of actions when a certain selected driver
message, usually a reply of some sort, is detected coming from the connected peripheral on the
relevant serial port (for example, the projector Power: Off command).
Note that serial ports on Aux K-NET devices can be used only for outgoing serial commands, in
contrast to the Master RC which supports bidirectional serial communication. Therefore, monitor
event triggers can only be defined for the serial ports of the Master RC in a certain Room Control
setup and not for the serial ports of the Aux K-NET devices.
To add a monitor event trigger:
1. Click the Add Monitor Event button. The Monitor Events Trigger window appears. Select the
port, driver and command that will trigger the monitor event actions:

2. Click OK.
The Monitor Event (in green) is added to the Available Triggers list:

You can edit the trigger to respond to a different command by clicking the button.
3. Add actions to the trigger (see Section 6.2
).
