Command SyntaxA macro can be made up of two different types of commands. “Trigger” and
Sleep”.
The trigger command is followed by a Trigger definition. Example;
<!-- Trigger auditorium lights to UP -->
Trigger Lights:UP
<!-- Trigger Audio volume -->
Trigger Audio:Volume:50
<!-- sleep X seconds before sending the next trigger →
Sleep 1.5
To understand what the trigger syntax should be, see this example;
<!-- See this Trigger definition -->
<Trigger>

</Lights>

levels, finishing with the level where the actual trigger message is defined.
