Value

Variant Returns or configures the current value of this Alarm's User Field. This property has a different behavior depending whether this object is active or inactive. With this object active, the value returned when reading this property obeys the following priorities:

1. If there is a forced value (the ValueSource property equal to evsForcedValue), returns this value

2. If there is a configured Link (the ValueSource property equal to evsLink), returns the Link's current value

3. Searches for the value of this User Field in the hierarchically superior Area (traverses the hierarchy of Areas in ascending order)

4. If there is no hierarchically superior Area with a forced value or a configured Link for this User Field, retrieves the default value of the User Field configured in the Alarm Server

 

If this object is inactive, reading this property returns a forced value, if it exists (the ValueSource property equal to evsForcedValue). If there is no forced value, reading this property fails.

The behavior of writings to this property is the same, whether it is active or inactive. That writing fails if there is a configured Link (the ValueSource property equal to evsLink). Otherwise, the new value is accepted and the ValueSource property is automatically configured to evsForcedValue.
