3.1.5 RS-232 outputs

You can add an RS-232 output item to a Playlist. When the item is reached in a Playlist, the iCOMPEL sends a character

string to an external device, via the iCOMPEL RS-232 port.

An example of a external device action that could be triggered by an RS-232 output signal would be switching on the

lighting in a room where the Screen is situated at the start of each working day.
