RoomView
•
<
DispUsage
> is routed to the RoomView "Display Use" field, and
indicates the light bulb usage in a display device such as a projector.
The expected lamp life (in hours) is set by the Administrator when
adding a room. In the example program, a SIMPL+ module called
COUNTLAMPHOURS.usp counts elapsed lamp hours whenever the
display is on. Alternately, many projectors keep track of lamp hours.
This value must be obtained and sent back.

<

adding new room attributes.
Serial Signals
•
<
HelpResponse
> sends a pre-defined help request to RoomView,
usually as the result of a button press on a room touchpanel.
When RoomView receives a help request, the "Help" status indicator
becomes a red plus sign. The operator can then view the help request
and send either a pre-defined or custom response back to the
touchpanel via <
HelpMsg
>.
•
<
ser-o50
> and <
ser-i50
> are expandable (50 to 100) serial joins for
adding new room attributes.
NOTE:
HelpResponse
has been re-named to
HelpRequest
in later versions of
RoomView.
NOTE:
Both the help request and response can consist of a maximum of 255
characters.

<
ErrorMsg
> sends a formatted error string to RoomView and invokes
an icon change in the error column depending on the severity of the
error. When the icon is clicked, the log file opens and displays all
logged events for the clicked room. For RoomView to interpret the
error string correctly, the string must be formatted as "<error
severity>:<msg>", where error severity is the severity code 0-4, and
msg is the message string.
Severity Code Definitions
0
= OK
1
= Notice
2
= Warning
3 =
Error
4
= Fatal Error
A SIMPL+ module called RoomViewMsg.usp has been provided in the
\Demo folder that formats a string as described above before it is sent
to RoomView. The SIMPL Windows program must send the severity
as an analog value and the message as a serial string as input to the
module. The program then needs to pulse the digital input send signal
of the module, causing the module to format the string. If the error
string is not formatted correctly, RoomView assigns a default severity
to the error and logs the entire string.

<
Log Text
