<< Click to Display Table of Contents >>   Driver Configuration

All configurations are performed on Driver's configuration dialog box.

Aditionally, shall be defined manually the files MetasysState0.txt and MetasysState1.txt containing the state names corresponding to the values 0 e 1 respectively, so the driver can translate these states for numerical values 0 and 1.

The files shall contain a list of words, one at each line. A word placed at the state 0 file shall not be placed at the state 1 file, and vice-versa.

All words are converted to lowercase internally, so the words are not case-sensitive.

Rows starting with the symbol # will be considered comments.

Example:

MetasysState0.txt

Stopped

Local

Close

Off

Inactive

FALSE

Deactivate

Normal

 

MetasysState1.txt

Started

Start

Reset

On

Remote

Open

Active

TRUE

Activate

Alarm

 

It is also possible to create a file called MetasysReadAhead.txt which informs a part of a command name which is associated with a status tag, which can be read immediately after.

The file will be read at driver startup, with the following content :

 

#comments starts with #

#put here the keywords to associate the command to a state

#keyword_command;keyword_state

#objects shall belong to the same controller

QDL-S;QDL-C

SF-COM;SF-STS

SYSENA;SF-STS

SF-CVF;SF-SVF

 

The procedure starts after a successful command. If the command tag contains the first keyword, the keyword is replaced by the second keyword and the driver checks if a status tag exists with that name. If positive, this tag is inserted into a special queue waiting for the wait time (Read Ahead After Cmd – Wait Time) to be read.
