Programming Instructions for Actions 
Goal 
Create an action to monitor up to four input events and drive one output event 
(action result). 
 
 
Pre-conditions 
Program the input and output events you want the Action to monitor or control. 
Notes 
•  See xGen Reference Guide for more details on Actions. 
•  Write/Plan out on paper what you want to create to make it easier to set up 
Actions and associated settings. 
•  Actions can be used without programming an Action Result. For example, 
outputs are controlled by setting them to monitor an action, when the Action 
State is true the output state will follow.
