After the compiling process is successful, the following window
will appear prompting you to download the compiled script to the
show controller.
Verify that the COM Port setting matches the PC COM Port that you
have connected to the show controller. You should then click the
Download button to begin transferring the script to the controller. When
the transfer is complete, you may be asked to compress and store the
non-compiled script file. You should always do this whenever possible
for permanent installations but, for this example, go ahead and click No.
Testing the Show Control Script
At this point, the script is now running on the show controller.
You can now press Button #1 on the front of the show controller
to play video #1 on reproducer #1 of the Binloop. Immediately
after you press the button, you will see the serial LED 1 blink to
indicate that the controller is sending a serial message on RS-
232 Port 1. You will then see the green status LED of
Reproducer #1 illuminate green to indicate that it is playing a
video.
Now that you have the basics, you can easily modify this script to
do other things more suited for your application. Perhaps you
want to play different files based on which button is pressed?
Maybe you want to trigger playback from a motion sensor wired
into the controller? Having a Show Controller in your system
provides all kinds of possibilities.
