- A timer event is used to initiate a device action as soon as the defined countdown time is up the advantage of using a timer event as opposed to a combination of delay command and device command is that it saves time by executing the defined action while other actions commands within the series execute 251
- Among these actions action 2 switching source on a projector can be designed as a timer event because 251
- It needs a countdown of 8 seconds before the action can be initiated 251
- On top of initiating a specified action you can also create additional controls on the viewer to manually restart or stop the action for example for a start meeting button you would like to initiate the following series of actions when triggered 251
- The remaining actions can be initiated without action 2 being completed 251
