Action Editor
The action editor is used to manage the actions defined in your relay cabinet. Actions
are used to execute commands or create groups of commands which are called by a
contact closure input or by the event scheduler.
Each action is made up of a list of items. You can have as many action items as
desired, up to the system limit of 2000. There are four submenus in the Action Editor
• ADD A NEW ACTION
• EDIT AN ACTION
• DELETE AN ACTION
• EXIT (DONE)
