See each individual command later in this appendix for details.
▲ IMPORTANT: If using non-ASCII characters in the show name (for example;
å, ö, ü, ß), your text editor must be able to save the text using the UTF-8
encoding. If you’re unsure about this, it’s usually easiest to rename the show
to avoid non-ASCII characters.
◆ NOTE: Any errors occurring while executing commands from such a
command file are displayed in a console window. However, to see this
window, you have to close the main WATCHOUT display window by
pressing Ctrl-W. Keep this in mind if your command file doesn’t work as
expected.
Network Control To control a WATCHOUT display cluster via the network, connect to TCP/IP
port number 3039 of one of the WATCHOUT display computers. The computer
you initiate communication with becomes the master of the cluster, and will
automatically control the other cluster members, as specified by the presenta-
tion loaded using the “load” command.
