  • If you select a Control function (such as Control Trigger, Alarm Mask, or Force On) this field displays a Control Zone list and all control zones relevant to the selected controller are listed.

Command

The system automatically supplies the command values in this text field according to the values you entered in the previous three fields.

If required, you can modify the command displayed in this field by entering different arguments.  

Only one command with required arguments is allowed per string; however, you can add more strings to include more commands in this command set, if needed.

When multiple commands are added for the same controller they will be grouped into one line separated by commas.
