3. MESSENGER
The Multilogger software contains messenger functionality
(Messenger was installed, together with the multilogger software,
on your PC).
The BS-510 receives measurement data from sensors and when connected
with a PC the messenger software checks each measurement to the rules
defined. A rule can also be checked on a timer event. A rule is a condition and
an action definition. The condition is evaluated against the measurement if the
evaluation results 'true', the defined action is performed. The rules are stored
in a file that is stored on the PC.
3.1 Messenger Rule Editor
Rules can be defined using the rule-editor, available from the Multilogger
software package (see www.arexx.com)
The Rule-Editor is a tool for the creation of a rule-file that is used by the
PC meseanger to control the Messenger software functions. The Messenger
allows the start of one or more actions based on a incomming measurement
value, if its associated condition is met. The available actions are the trans-
mission of an e-mail and the transmission of a http request.
