UI-Path DX Announcment

Andy Pritchard
 

Hi All

I have implemented the facility for UI-Path to run an external applicaion
when a station exceeds the specified distance for a dx station

The example just loads a wav file.

Also new help file it's on onelist extras folder uipth16j.zip

Hi Andy,
As implemented, each time a DX milestone is tripped, Internet Explorer
launches and leaves me at a file management screen of some sort. A new
session launches for each DX alarm. No sound, though. After a couple
of minutes, I must have a dozen IE sessions on my taskbar.

I attempted to change the launching program to windows MediaPlayer, but
that gives errors. Is it a simple file-path thing?

Hi Ev

Yes nothing special just calls the program you specify. Certainly on mine it
just ran windows media thing and played a wav file. Check you can double
clik on a wav file in windows explorer and it plays.

As far as you wanted to connect to your modem I seem to remember there being
a simple way to open the com port in QBASIC then if it is hayes compatible
you could send somthing like
ATZ
ATDT <telephone number>
then I think wait for a bit log send the
appropriate login and message text and hang-up.

Worth a go...

Yes! Thanks for the mental jump start. I'll play with that for a while
and see what happens.

Btw...would it be "trivial" to have UI-Path create a text-file of the
posit that tripped the DX alarm? I could see a use for grabbing a
grid-square from the posit and send that as part of the page (then I
know if I need to rush home to work the DX or not <grin>).

It shouldn't accumulate, just the last posit report to trip the alarm.

This is going to be extremely useful and popular. Thanks for the work!
