Upgrading from MeetingManager 1.0

RMS NetLinx Programmer’s Guide
files from the RMS 2.0 SDK directory to your project directory in order to
compile.
In addition, all "MM…" API functions and constants should be changed to use
the "RMS…" function or constant, which is as simple as changing "MM" to
"RMS". To avoid making these tedious changes, you could overwrite your
existing MeetingManagerDeviceMonitor.axi from the MeetingManager 1.0 SDK
with the MeetingManagerDeviceMonitor.axi from the RMS 2.0 SDK. This new
file will define all the MeetingManager 1.0 SDK functions and constants and, in
the case of functions, will call the RMS equivalents. Using
MeetingManagerDeviceMonitor.axi in new projects is not recommended.
These changes constitute the bulk of the RMS 2.0 SDK changes. The new
modules will enable most of the new functionality available in RMS 2.0 servers.
There may be a couple of other changes required to take full advantage of the
RMS 2.0 SDK so check the next sections to see if they apply to your program.
After making this change, you will need to recompile and download your code.
Lamp Hours
In order to take full advantage of the Lamp Hours reporting and Manage Lamp
Hours view, Projector Lamp Hours must be reported to the RMSProjectorMod
support module. If you created your own "Lamp Hours" parameter, the code in
your program is sending the lamp hour value directly to MeetingManager.
In order to take advantage of the new Lamp Hours features, change your call that
notifies the RMS server of the lamp hours change to:
RMSSetLampHours(Projector Device, Lamp Hours)
For instance, if you have a Named device called "Projector" with a real device
called dvProj and a parameter for this device named "Lamp Hours", the
MeetingManager 1.0 Device Monitoring Worksheet created a function called
MMSetProjectorLampHours() which your code called to notify MeetingManager
of the Lamp Hours change. You will want to change your code from:
MMSetProjectorLampHours(Value)
To
RMSSetLampHours(dvProj,Value)
