3.2.1.5.1.1 Procedure

To access the Programming view:

1. Start Composer.

2. Click Programming at the bottom of the System Design pane.

3. In the Programming pane, view the list of Device Events (see below) and events for the object

selected.

The Programming view consists of several panes:

x Device Events—Displays all devices that have associated events in the project tree.

x <Device> or <Room> Events—Displays the available events for the currently selected

device or room in the Device Events project tree. If there are no events for that device or

room, none are displayed.

x Script—Displays the script associated with the currently-selected event from the Device

Events pane. You drag-and-drop an action from the <Project Title> Actions pane to arrange

the order of actions and nest them in the Script pane.

x Device Actions—Displays all available device options with associated actions you can use

to write your script.

x <Project Title> Actions—Displays the Command, Conditionals, and Loops tabs. You move

Commands, Conditionals, and Loops into the Script pane from this pane.

To add an action to the script, you first select the device in the Device Action's project tree, select

the type of action you want in the Actions pane, click the green arrow, and finally drag-and-drop

the action to the Script pane.

x Commands tab—Use this tab to select commands (delete, add, etc.) to use for your script.

x Conditionals tab—Use this tab to select conditionals ('if' statements) to use for your script.

x Loops tab—Use this tab to select loops ('while' statements, etc.) to use for your script.
