The Update DOut task is used to send an outbound relay pulse from an audio switcher that supports this functionality. The relay pulse might be used to turn on a light or start some other device.
Some audio switchers support additional outbound relay functionality, including toggling the relay on (closed) and holding it on (closed). This task supports pulse output only. The duration of the pulse is controlled by the audio switcher settings. Pulse duration is typically one second or less, with most switchers supporting a range from ~100 milliseconds up to ~9.9 seconds |
