Event.exe require help!!

[Zak.h]

I have just purchased a usb-uirt and loaded the Girder 5 software.Have been reading the manual and it looks like the easiset way to control devices is from a desktop icon. (eventualy will use this from a scada sytem where I can execute exe files to give commands)
I have created a gml called MyHouse.
under My House I have created a group called TV.
under TV have created a macro called Volume.
under volume have created an event called Volume up.
I was able to teach volume up to my event from my remote control.
When I highlight Volume up and press F5 it sends a signal out of the USB-UIRT and the volume goes up on the TV. Great really happy.
I then tried to set up the event to operate using event.exe.
I have spent long hours at night reading past posts and been over the manual and tried and tried to configure this but I can not understand how to set this up from what I have created. It seems simple but perhaps i am, going about it all wrong.
I would love it if some one could give me step by step instructiuons from what I have created to get this to work. Any help really appreciated so I can get some sleep.

Upload your GML.

The trick with events is to make sure all the bits and pieces match otherwise things won't work.

1. The event string has to match.
2. The event device has to match.
3. if used the modifier has to match.

It's worth checking whether Girder is seeing the events in the logger.

If it is then you can drag the event from the logger to the action you want to perform.

Remember that the language that Girder uses (Lua) is case-sensitive.

ie. TVPower ~= TVpower

Hi Ron THanks for the reply. i can operate my GML by using the F5 key on the PC and get logs on the viewer and it sends out my IR code but when i try to use the shortcut event.exe i get no logged events in the logger and no ir command sent. Here is my basic GML i am using to try and get the events to work.
I imagine i am not putting the correct path in

If you're not seeing any events in the logger then it's probable that the problem is with your use of event.exe. Can you show us how you're calling it?

Hi rob

I have only 5 mins ago worked it out. It was how I was calling the event and then placing it in the grl file. Now I have to see if I can execute that shortcut icon from the desktop from my scada package to operate my ir devices.
If that does not work do you know of any applications that have some graphics to use to trigger the shortcut?
Thanks Zak

Well, there's always NetRemote :)
