    can you use the trigger groups in the new marpa unit to trigger other devices on the network as in the dynamic button 1 or 2 to trigger logic in a touch screen to do other things i have tried but cant see the triger group on the network ?:confused:

    It isn't quite clear what you are wanting to do.

    The dynamic 1 and 2 "triggers" are generated by a key switch. These can also be acted on by logic.

    If the Matrix Switcher is configured to use the Audio Application, it will broadcast an equivalent Audio App message which can also be used by logic.

    OK when i use a dyn button on a dlt i can see the group address on the network
    then i change the source and repress the dyn button i then see the same group address
    what i need is to see a different group address so i can use some logic to talk to a rti controller
    i need to see the dyn info whitch is in the marpa on the network
    should i use media control and link group to see the info on the network

    I don't have the right equipment here to test this, but this is what I would do:
    1. Run PICED and open the project you will be writing the logic in
    2. Connect to C-Bus
    3. Enable the PICED log and in particular, the Audio Application messages
    4. Press a button on the DLT
    - You should see the message from the DLT in the PICED log
    - You should also see a corresponding Audio App message from either the Matrix Switcher or Amplifier
    - If you don't see these Audio App messages, you will need to use MARPA to enable them
    5. Once you can see the Audio App messages you need, add logic code to perform the necessary things when the audio In-built System IO variables change value
