problemwith acknowledging in Alarm&Event disp.

[korst]

hi Justin,

I've tried things you adviced me but I am not sure I understood you clearly. I found out that the only way to set alarms to an integer type of variable is only in type UInt32 (unsigned 32-bit integer), and that is not it i guess, because there we can only set some specific bits to be watched. And so I tried to use the type Double, but with no success. Users still remain switched.

hi again,

I would like to ask whether you know when is the new version of DSC going to be released. thanks

Hello korst,

We cannot say when the next version of DSC is coming out but I did write a short example to illustrate how to use a U32 variable instead of a boolean to work around this error.  I'm simply converting the boolean into a U32 and alarming off of the first bit (0 or 1).

Regards,
Justin D

hi Justin,
i've been a few days out so i came to this later... i've tried your example and it worked (talking about alarms that rise up then down, then up and ACK). then i did the same in my project and it did not... trying&solving i found out that it might be something wrong with my variables. because even when i try to monitor my variables in your project it still does not work. interesting, because i've set up the same options as you have. and i really hope i will not have to re-set all the variables i would like to monitor. I'll respond as soon as i solve it.

thx for help
