Linking a Macro (Action)
DIFFERENCE: This feature is available
only in UMX-TPS-TX140K and TX140-Plus
Macros stored in the device can be run as
Actions. Thus, a lot of commands can be run
by using only one Event. The commands will
be processed one-by-one after each other.
#macro
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 Macros button in the Action panel.
Step 3. Select the desired Macro from the list
then press the Apply button to store
settings.
If the Use variables option is enabled, you can
link a variable by the $ character. If you do so
message.

Special Tools and Accessories
The Name of the Event
The name of a port can be changed by typing the new name and clicking the Set button. The following
underscore ( _ ), and space ( ).
Enable or Disable an Event
The set Event can be enabled or disabled in the Event list, or directly in the Event editor window by setting
the tick mark beside the name.
Testing the Condition
a small panel that shows if the set condition is detected; the Counter can be reset by the button in Event
editor. If the Condition is true, the detected mark turns green for two seconds and the Counter is increased.
Testing the Action
The method is the same as testing the Condition, but in this case, the Action can be triggered manually by
pressing the Test button.
TIPS AND TRICKS: The Test button is also placed on the Action panel in the Event list. Thus, you can
check the Actions without opening the Event editor.
Delay the Action
In most cases the Action is
performed immediately after
the Condition is detected. But
sometimes a delay is necessary
between the Condition and the
Action. Therefore, the new Event
manager contains the Delay panel
which allows that feature with
below settings:
▪ No delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched.
▪ Simple delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval.
▪ Still true after: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval only if
the Condition still exists.
▪ Continuously true: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval only
if the Condition has been existing continuously.
TIPS AND TRICKS: Show advanced expressions option is a useful tool when you look for the path or value
of a property but just the expression is displayed. The option is available in the Event list window or when
