Acclaim Lighting ART IO - Manual (Page 24)

Actions
Programming the show controller involves adding action-list and specifying actions.
Action-lists
In the Action-lists table you can include the sources you will be using in your project. You can choose
from input sources like: DMX, Art-Net, MIDI, GPI, Time-code, Scheduler & OSC. Each source may exist in
the table only once. Each Action-list can be enabled and disabled.
Actions
Within each Action-list you can create multiple Actions. You can create up to 64 Actions system-wide
and maximum 48 per list. For each Action you specify when it will be triggered and which Tasks it will
perform when that trigger occurs.
To change the details of an action, select it and press the EDIT button. This will open the Action page.
Flank
For most types of actions you can set the flank. For example when editing a GPI action, it will be
triggered only on closing the contact (also known as 'normally open') when the specifier is set to
DOWN. When set to UP, the action will be only trigger on opening the contact (a.k.a. 'normally closed').
Finally, when the specifier is set to CHANGE, the action will be triggered on both closing and opening of
the contact.
Trigger
Specify the exact trigger on which to execute the tasks. In the case of a GPI action, the trigger denotes
the trigger port number (there are 4 ports on the Art SSC).
