6.8.2. Create or modify an Event
Wizard mode
The wizard mode lists the most common conditions and actions, so the user does not have
to look for LW3 nodes and properties.
Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the desired Event;
the Event editor is displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is displayed as default.
Select the desired Category first (e.g. Audio or
Video)
Step 3. Select the desired Expression from the drop-
down menu. If any other parameter is
necessary to set, it is going to be displayed.
Step 4. Press the Apply button to store the settings of
the Condition.
Advanced mode
The goal of this mode is the same as of the wizard: set the properties and methods for
conditions and actions. The difference is the number of the available and usable properties
and methods of the LW3 protocol. Advanced mode allows almost all of it.
Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the
desired Event; the Event editor is
displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is the default,
press the Advanced button. The
LW3 protocol tree is displayed
showing the list of the properties
in the drop-down menu. Navigate
to the desired node.
Step 3. Select the desired Property from
the menu. The manual of the
property is displayed below to
help to select the necessary
property and to set the value.
Step 4. Set the desired value and operator, then press the Apply button to store settings.
The Link tool
The new interface allows creating more actions to the same condition. In that case, a
condition can trigger more actions. To set such an Event, the Link tool has been introduced.
Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the desired
Event; the Event editor is displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is displayed as
default, press the Link button.
Step 3. All the saved Events are analyzed and
the conditions are listed (it takes some
seconds to finish). The Show advanced
expressions option allows showing the exact path and set the value of the given
property.
Step 4. Select the desired Condition and press the Apply button to store the settings.
ATTENTION!
The structure of the Action panel is the same as the Condition; see the right panel.
