The Venus 1500 Message Studio 50
Triggers are used to control the state of external devices that may be connected to a display,
such as a beacon.
Triggers allow the user to draw extra attention to the display when certain messages are
being shown. They are set for each message individually and remain active while the
message is being displayed. Venus 1500 software is capable of supporting up to 40 triggers.
However, display limitations will dictate the actual number of devices available for control.

Properties window.

Cancel to void the action and close the Message Properties window.
