RSView32 Messenger Configuration • Configure messages by combining text messages together with tag attributes and values using Phrases • Phrases can be used in alarm messages or sent directly to a destination using the MessengerPhrase command • Reports are simply multi-line phrases saved by name and sent directly to a destination using the MessengerReport command
RSView32 Messenger Alarm Example • Consider the following alarm message: [Audio = Alarm Bell] Tag [.name] is in alarm. Its value is [.value] (RSView32 looks up any items in square brackets and substitutes them into the phrase at runtime) • If the tag is named LIC_33, and its value is 457, then the output would beAlarm Bell.wav plays… “Tag LIC_33 is in alarm. Its value is 457”
RSView32 Messenger Configuration • When configuring messages, click the Browse button to open a Phrase Components window • The Phrase Components windows allows you to easily select tags and attach tag attributes • The Phrase Components window also lists audio recordings you have imported or recorded, or you can use other .WAV files by specifying the file directly, for example: [audio = c:\mysounds\Alarmbeep.wav]
