| + | The next action is to lower the projector screen. This is done using a relay connected to a CF Mini.\\ | ||
| + | Click on ''Add Action'', then ''Action Builder''. Choose ''Relay'' as the action type, and make sure the target device is the CF Mini you are programming your macro on.\\ | ||
| + | The relay ports will automatically populate based on the ports available on the target device. In our case we want to pulse relay 3 for 1 second.\\ | ||
| + | {{ :software:system-commander:quick-start-guide:system_commander_action_builder_cf_mini_relay.png?direct&600 |}} | ||
| + | Press ''OK'' and again the CFLink command is automatically generated for you. We want this command to happen without any delay so leave the delay set to 0.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Lastly we want to fire an IR command to turn on the Bluray player. Once again, add an action and go into the Action Builder. We will use the CF Mini on-board IR database and the action builder to automatically create the IR command to send.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Select ''IR'' action type, choose the device we want to send the IR from - in our case IR port 1 of a CF Mini. Choose DBA format and press the ‘Build...’ button to bring up the IR database wizard. \\ | ||

| + | |||
| + | Enter the device details - Samsung, Bluray player, try codeset 0199 and choose the discreet power on command (rather than power toggle).\\ | ||
| + | {{ :software:system-commander:quick-start-guide:system_commander_action_builder_cf_mini_ir_data_builder.png?direct |}} | ||
| + | Press ''OK'' to automatically generate the CFLink command. We can then enter a delay if we wanted, which would add a pause between the projector screen down command and the bluray power on command. But in this case we don’t need to delay the IR command, so just press ''OK'' to finish adding the last action to the macro.\\ | ||

| + | |||
| + | Now we need to add the rule which will cause this macro to be started. In our case, we want this system startup macro to be triggered whenever a button on a wall switch is pressed, which is hooked up to an I/O port of the CF Mini, configured as a dry contact input.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | When the wall switch is pressed, we can use the communication log to see the incoming CFLink data format that we need to use to trigger our macro. To clear the log, right click on it and select ''Clear Log'' then find the command of the wall switch being pressed. Right click and copy the CFLink command.\\ | ||
| + | {{ :software:system-commander:quick-start-guide:system_commander_copy_cflink_command.png?direct&600 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now add the rule by pressing the ''Add Rule'' button. Give the rule a name relating to the input event and paste the command you just copied into the ''Search String Field''. Then select the macro we want to fire and press ''OK''.\\ | ||
| + | {{ :software:system-commander:quick-start-guide:system_commander_add_rule.png?direct&600 |}} | ||
| + | Before the rule will become active, we need to save it to the device memory. Press the ''Save to Device'' button to begin this process. A progress bar will popup just above the log area to show the save progress. After this is done, you can use the ''Load from Device'' button to double check that the data was saved to device correctly.\\ | ||
