# Device input ROTARY

`0,INPUT,<index>,<tag>,ROTARY,<inherit>,<options>;`

For a stateful rotary the states have to be defined in the options.

In SPAD.neXt standard UI the rotary is visualized as following (uivalue = 0):

### Sending rotary input updates

`8,<index>,<statevalue>;`

e.g to tell SPAD.neXt that the rotary (index 5 tag E\_MAGNETO) has been changed to BOTH-Position the device will send a

`8,5,3;`

command.\
SPAD.neXt will execute the events

`E_MAGENTO.BOTH`

`E_MAGNETO.TUNER_CLOCKWISE` if previous position was RIGHT and encoder inherit was present

and rotate the UI-representation absolute by 6 \* 15 = 90 degrees
