Claim 10:
11. A control method applied in a management controller coupled to a plurality of external devices, comprising:
setting a first counting value and a second counting value;
determining whether an event occurs;
determining whether the first counting value is equal to a first target value;
selecting a first matrix among a plurality of matrices according to the second counting value in response to the event occurring and the first counting value not being equal to the first target value;
utilizing the first matrix to send a first trigger signal to a first device of the external devices;
adjusting the second counting value;
determining whether the second counting value is equal to a second target value;
in response to the second counting value not being equal to the second target value:
selecting a second matrix among the matrices according to the second counting value;
utilizing the second matrix to send a second trigger signal to a second device of the external devices until the second counting value is equal to the second target value;
in response to the second counting value being equal to the second target value:
adjusting the first counting value; and
determining whether the first counting value is equal to the first target value again; and
stopping any trigger signal being provided to the external devices in response to the first counting value being equal to the first target value,
wherein:
in response to the first device receiving the first trigger signal, the first device performs a specific operation,
in response to the first device finishing the specific operation, the first device enables a finish signal, and
the second matrix provides the finish signal as the second trigger signal to trigger the second device.
