  • 1.  Sending Dashboard grid countdown timer to RossTalk channel

    Posted 26 days ago
      |   view attached

    I have a DashBoard panel which counts down from current time to a target time set by a drop-down selector.

    I've attached the current grid file as text for detail

    The resultant countdown time appears in orange numbers in a panel above the selector. as per this image;

    Dropdown selection of target countdown time

    I would like to take that resultant countdown and send it to a RossTalk channel which I could then pick up on our ultriscape to populate a display clock.

    I was thinking of something along the lines of
    <task tasktype="rosstalk">rosstalk.sendMessage('server IP', server port, 

    that's where I get stuck. I'm unsure of what to define to be sent to just get the counting numbers to send on RT channel 8 

    Am I in the right ballpark & can anyone help me get that final step sorted?

    Also where in the attached code should the Rosstalk command be inserted?

    Thanks

    You should be able to send a Rosstalk command to your Ultrix formatted as "TXTLABEL ID:01; TEXT:Test123; BGCLR:0x00,0x00,0x00; TXTCLR:0x00,0xff,0x00; SIZE=99" With the ID changed to match your static ID on the text field on the multiviewer, and 'Test123' as the text you want to send.

    You should be able to put this as a task on your timer display, and it should update whenever the time changes (once per second)
