is only an approximate wait time.
For SERIAL only- Use %BR to add a BREAK character as the first transmitted character.
NOTE- Spaces between characters are NOT transmitted. Use %20 to transmit a space

Table.
MEM’s are used to save an Event In's ON or OFF state and trigger an ON or OFF ACTION. MEMs are
also used on the Tally Assignment web page to control LCD Key text and color.
In the Event Action Table, an Event In can turn on, turn off or toggle the state of a MEM. Also, a MEM can
be used as an Event In to trigger an ON or OFF ACTION.
For example, a MEM can be used to convert a momentary event into a latching tally. VTR Play status
turns on MEM 1. VTR Stop status turns off MEM 1. The LCD Key tallying MEM 1 displays PLAY when
MEM 1 is on and STOP when MEM 1 is off.
Please refer to section 18 for example of MEMs FLIP FLOP and RADIO GROUP.

15. EVENT ACTION TABLE
On an Event Action Table line, select an EVENT IN on the left side of the table and then select
an ACTION on the right side. Some events only support ON ACTIONS, so the OFF ACTION
entries will be grayed out.
One EVENT IN can trigger more than one ACTION. Select the same EVENT IN on multiple
lines and then select an ON or OFF ACTION on each line.
Only EVENTs and ACTIONs associated with the Remote Device’s Device Type or Connection
Type will be displayed in the drop down menus. If the desired event or action is not displayed,
then go to the Remote Device Assignment web page and change the Device Type or
Connection Type for the Remote Device.
There are 16 Sequence Timers. Use each Sequence Timer event number in multiple lines as
the Event Type to create a sequence of actions. The first Sequence entry from the top of the
table will be the first sequence action. The next Sequence entry from the top of the table will be
the next sequence action. The Event column time is the delay before that line’s action will
execute. Use Sequence Start action to start a sequence. Use Sequence Stop/ Reset to stop a
sequence. The Sequence will always start at its first line.
