Re: xPL-LCD Update




Neil
Below is a  copy of an osd message sent by a Determinator in response
to receiving a control.basic message from my lcdosd with  menu1 data
embedded in the message...
My lcdosd displays the text section on the 2x20 lcd as follows......on off
50% 75% ...Sensor.basic messages will be sent depending on which button 1
to
4 is pressed

CBUS LIGHTS
ON    OFF   50  75
**************************************************************

source=XPL-XPLHAL.MAINPC
target=AEC-LCDOSD.LCD1
}
osd.basic
{
command=clear
text=CBUS LIGHTS\NON   OFF   50%   75%
delay=0
}

****************************************************************
This is a TRIG message sent by my lcdosd when  button 1 is pressed..Several
Determinatores watch for this and also check the Menu Global and when both
are true the Determinator output actions are executed...eg cbus lites on
and
OSD message sent etc......
