9.2b Features

You can insert a logical expression (IF/ELSE) into a custom control as events. When the custom control is run the logical expression is evaluated and the results executed.

The following logical events are supported:

• If — the start of a boolean expression requiring a variable, operator, and condition. If the expression returns true the custom control events inserted after this event are executed. If the expression returns false the custom control jumps to the next boolean condition (Else If or Else) or end (End If).
• Else If — the start of a nested boolean expression where the parent boolean expression has returned false and another boolean expression is evaluated. An Else If, unlike an If, will only be evaluated if the parent If or Else If has returned false.
• Else — the end of a boolean expression where the current If (If or Else If) evaluation has returned false. The custom control events inserted after this event are executed only when the If evaluation returns false.
• End If — the end of the boolean expression. The End If is required for the expression to be evaluated properly. The custom control events inserted after this event are always executed.

Communications with a device can be temporarily stopped. The switcher will not attempt to connect to the device when the device is disabled. This can be useful if a device is temporarily out of service and you don't want to remove the device. This prevents the switcher from repeatedly attempting to connect to the device and logging the failed connection event.

Logging events can now be customized to include fewer events.
