Re: real-time log time questions - having issues with Display Power On global preset


richardazuckerman
 

sorry if i wasn't clear.
their is a real-time log mode in system builder.

i'll tyr watching the sb created simpl code in the simpl debugger. i spent several hours (way too late at night) trying to understand and find where/when the simpl code turns on the receiver but got confused seeing so many inputs labeled as '0' into the symbols. my unschooled suspicion is that what i was looking for is in some black box of a symbol coded in simpl+ - but like i said its my unschooled eye.

i'm trying to get a repeatable working methodology for building prodigy based systems. the desire is to use as much of the automation tools i.e. composer/system builder that i can reasonably rely on.

from the responses i have gotten on remotecentral as well as offline chats with othe ci's i appear to better off starting directly with SB and for systems beyond its capabilities contracting with one of the (you?) CAIPs.

regardless it would also be nice to know if my findings are universal - i.e. the latest composer/sb is busted - and if not what i need to do (reinstall perhaps) to get to a stable starting point. being in the software/systems business for over 30 years i've developed a number of assumptions which are not proving useful in the crestron/control world. this is more like the wild wild west for a noob like me.

sorry for the ramble and i appreciate your response.

Do you mean simpl debugger when you say real time log, I assume so. I believe you can change how the time is displayed, realtime, or time from event load. Either way, you should see any signals that you're currently watching, and the time is relative anyway. It would be a digital transition you're looking for.

I've hacked around the power on issue but my questions regarding the log ouput remain please.

I have posted this on remotecentral as well. I know you folks don't use SB much, if at all, but was hoping for some insight.

Is the Time column in the Real-time log the actual time that the command or event happened or is just the time that the log record is being written.

i ask because i am not seeing a time lapse for a Delay of X seconds that I have put within the Display Power On glbl preset.

I also do not see an expected .5 second delay between my turn on pulse (upped from .1 to .5) and the auto generated display input command sent by SB.

for that matter i do not see any of the delays in the current version of sb and my recollection is that they used to show up.

My Actual issue is that the darned panel is not being turned on anymore via my program. Note that it will turn on if i execute the preset manually while in Real-time trace.

TIA.
