For what purposes may I use the Messenger?
The messenger software enables you to send messages by email and/or http, in
which the most recent sensor data are included.
Optionally you may program transmission for special conditions, e.g.: the tempe-
rature is below zero degrees. The http-messages may also be used to update a
webserver with recent sensor data in real-time. The PC-version of the messenger
allows you to execute a cmd shell script, whereas the BS-XXXX/TL-09 version is
capable of triggering a buzzer.
For further information see: the Manual_BS1000_messenger.pdf
What are RULES?
The messenger software has been equipped with so-called rules to control the
triggering of events by incoming sensor data. For a logger, a number of rules
may be defined. A rule is a description containing a conditional statement and a
definition for action. If the given conditions have been fulfilled, the defined action
(for example sending an email) the will be triggered.
How can I to use rules?
Rules may be defined in the logger software, or by rule-editor, for the BS-XXXX/
TL-09. The rule editor defines a rule file, containing 1 or several rules. You may
upload the rule file to the base station. The BS-XXX however will only work with a
pc software.
What is an example for a rule?
($v< 0 || $v> 9) && $i==11867
How to transfer a rule into the BS-XXX or BS-XXXX receiver?
The BS-XXX will only work with the pc software and does not allow the uploading
of rule files. In this case rules will be defined within the messenger software. The
BS-XXXXTL-09 may be working independently from the pc software. These
modules allow you to upload a rule file, which may be organized in several ways:
BS-XXXX via the network:
- using the embedded webserver: visit the "rules"-page in the section
'administrative pages'.
- using the rule editor: menu Extra->'Upload current file to bs1000'.
Via USB:
- using the ConfigFileUpload tool: via USB you may upload rule files and other
configuration files to the station.
