Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
Hi Kiran Thanks. The command is showing on the device, and the custom panel is calling the command, but... the api function is not being run. How does the command entry in the device resource config map to an actual function? Thank you. ------------------------------ Simon Liddicott Systems ...

Hi Kiran Thanks for responding. That's what I'm trying to do, but the examples don't give enough context. Are you able to share an example where this has been implemented? Thank you. ------------------------------ Simon Liddicott Systems Engineer ------------------------------

OGP Commands

Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
Hi I'm writing a device panel, and the development guide suggests I should be able to expose commands in the device, not just parameters. It isn't clear how I do this. How do I expose a function on a device panel to a client panel? eg. matrixRoute(src, dst); And dynamically create parameters using ...

Thanks for this. I've tried that code in 9.16 and the stateless feature isn't consistent, I've been able to make the state change in the apples_stateless in the attached video. My workflow is using external xml for panel data. My default entry is:

Hi Richard. Thanks for the response. I'm not trying to send a trigger, but to find the value of a parameter by web api. I thought that if I could rename a button to the parameter value I could parse that, but it doesn't update. ------------------------------ Simon Liddicott Systems Engineer ...

Hi in DashBoard stateless="true" doesn't seem to work with type="STRUCT_ARRAY" parameters. Is this known? Or how should I get it to work? Thanks. ------------------------------ Simon Liddicott Systems Engineer ------------------------------

HTTP Trigger Rename Button

Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
I can rename a panel element in DashBoard, but the button on the HTTP Trigger Web Page does not rename. Is this expected behaviour? What I'm really trying to do is use a web api to revel parameters without having to wrote my own handler. Does that already exist? Thanks ------------------------------ ...

Has anyone used Fill/Key Input from a Decklink card in XPression? I've tried with both a Duo2 and a 4K Extreme (original) but both show Exceeds device capacity. Have you had success using this? What card and driver version are you using? Thanks in advance. ...

Hi Richard I'm talking about getting parameters from devices in the tree - and using custom widgets to display those parameters in this way: It sounds like that isn't possible - and thats fine. I understand there are other ways to mirror and manipulate the appearance of the parameter. ...

Yeah - but for this to work I have to mirror the device status - I can't attach the widget directly to the device parameter. ------------------------------ Simon Liddicott Systems Engineer ------------------------------

Thanks for your response. It sounds like the answer for now is no. That's not a major problem, I can find other ways of working. These are only examples of how it could be used: Translating text based device parameters - eg. You could create a widget that acts like a read only label but replaces ...

We're using a MOS workflow with xpression and use the project server. If we have a project with a sports theme and a project with a news theme we can use the different projects comfortably by switching the show in the mos plugin.
