Post System Error or Event
Use this VI to post an error or event message from your HMI to the System Error/Event
display on the Engine Manager. The message you post is logged to the system log file in the
BridgeVIEW\Syslog
directory. The format of the message is as follows:
EVENT/ERROR <date> <time> <Message>
The date and time represent the timestamp when the message is posted.
Message is the Error or Event that you want to report. The format of the
message that actually is posted is as follows:
EVENT/ERROR <date> <time> <Message>
Type determines the type of message to be posted. By default, it is an error.
If you are reporting an event, write a TRUE to the switch. Depending on
your selection, the word EVENT or ERROR automatically is incorporated
in the message that is posted.
timestamp is broken down into date and time strings and incorporated in
the message that gets posted. If this input is left unwired, the current
timestamp is taken and posted as a part of the message.
