Facility Control

I have a facility where we blackout screens with a salvo triggered by a button on an Ultritouch. I would like to have that salvo fire after a certain time rather than right away. The goal is to blackout the screens with a salvo an hour after I leave. Is there a script or something in the visualizer that will allow me to do this? 

Hi Ryan

The fastest way to run delayed script is to use our ogscript.asyncExec to run a function after a specified number of milliseconds.

To do this in Visual Logic, you will want to use the "Create Function" tool to create a custom function:

Give your function a name like "TurnOffLights" or "DelayedScript"

Put your functional code in the function:

Back in your "Main" tab, use the Custom Code block to pass your function to our asyncExec code and tell it how many milliseconds to delay:

<abs contexttype="opengear" keepalive="true" style="bg#dark;">
   <button buttontype="push" height="115" left="57" name="Run script in one minute" top="55" width="352">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">
function DelayedScript() {




	/*! block id=1000 !*/
	ogscript.debug("PUT DELAYED CODE IN FUNCTION");
	/*!!
 	&lt;block id="1000" type="ogscript_debug" x="149" y="111" w="419" MESSAGE="PUT DELAYED CODE IN FUNCTION" /&gt;
	!!*/
}




/*! block id=1001 !*/
ogscript.asyncExec(DelayedScript, 60000);
/*!!
 &lt;block id="1001" type="customcode" x="130" y="57" w="343" CODE="ogscript.asyncExec(DelayedScript, 60000);" /&gt;
!!*/
/*!!&lt;checksum&gt;f203d1c1226da4cbc3f07126b5059cf5&lt;/checksum&gt;!!*/</task>
   </button>
