Escape Sequences
The ^RAF and ^RMF commands support the replacement of any special escape sequences in the filename
(specified by the
%F embedded code) with the corresponding data obtained from the system as outlined in the
table below:
For instance, http://www.amx.com/img.asp?device=$DV
would become
http://www.amx.com/img.asp?device=10001.
^RAF, ^RMF - Embedded Codes (Cont.)
Parameter Embedded Code Description
refresh
’%R <refresh 1-65535>’
The number of seconds between refreshes in which the
resource is downloaded again. Refreshing a resource causes
the button displaying that resource to refresh also.
The default value is 0 (only download the resource once).
newest
’%N <0-1>’
Set the newest file. A value of 1 means that only the most
recent file matching the pattern is downloaded.
Note: The 'newest file' option only applies to FTP Dynamic
Images, and only those that have pattern matching as part of
their filename. Neither 'newest file' nor pattern matching apply
to HTTP Dynamic Images.
When set, the panel will first pull a list of files matching the
given pattern from the specified FTP server and path. The
timestamps of the items in the list will be compared, with the
newest one being displayed on the panel. This is useful for
source devices that place a uniquely named still image in a
folder at constant intervals, allowing the panel always to
display the most recent one.
preserve
’%V <0-1>’
Set the value of the preserve flag.
Default is 0. Currently preserve has no function.
