The MONITOR object corresponds to the Monitor system object.
The MONITOR object sends events presented in the table. Procedure is started when the corresponding event appears.
Format of event procedure for the Monitor object:
OnEvent("MONITOR","_id_","_event_")
List of commands and parameters for the MONITOR object is presented in the following table:
| Event | Description | Comment |

Examples of using events and reactions of the Monitor object:
Play record from video camera 1 on the monitor 4 with specified date and time while the first macro starting.
OnEvent("MACRO","1","RUN") { DoReact("MONITOR","4","ARCH_FRAME_TIME","cam<1>,date<"+date+">,time<11:00:00>"); DoReact("MONITOR","4","KEY_PRESSED","key<PLAY>"); }Switch to the mode of video archive viewing on the first video camera of monitor 4 while printing the frame from the first camera and then go on 10 frames further starting from the specified date and time.
OnEvent("CAM", "1", "PRINT") { DoReact("MONITOR","4","ARCH_FRAME_TIME","cam<1>,date<"+date+">,time <11:00:00>"); for(i=0;i<10;i=i+1) { DoReact ("MONITOR","4","KEY_PRESSED","key<FF>"); } }Zoom in the video image on the monitor screen if video camera is in alarm state and reset it when alarm will be finished.
OnEvent("CAM","1","MD_START") { DoReact("MONITOR","1","KEY_PRESSED","key<ZOOM_IN>"); } OnEvent("CAM", "1", "MD_STOP"); { DoReact("MONITOR","1","KEY_PRESSED","key<ZOOM_OUT>"); }Enter the layout number one on the monitor screen while triggering macro.
OnEvent("MACRO","1","RUN") { DoReact("MONITOR","1","KEY_PRESSED","key<SELECT_LAYOUT>,number<1>"); }- Command of starting the video export from Camera 1 in the Monitor 1, starting from 24-10-14 17:10:38 and to 24-10-14 17:10:80 to the c:\aaa.avi file.
Examples of export starting in three ways: using the IIDK (port 900 and 100) and using script:- IIDK (port 900)
MONITOR|1|START_AVI_EXPORT|start<24-10-14 17:10:38>,finish<24-10-14 17:10:50>,avi_path<c:\aaa.avi>,cam<1> - IIDK (port 1030)

- IIDK (port 900)
When macro 1 is run enable mouse PTZ control on Camera 4 at Monitor 10. Disable it on Macro 2.
OnEvent("MACRO","1","RUN") { DoReact("MONITOR","10","CONTROL_TELEMETRY","cam<4>,on<1>"); } OnEvent("MACRO","2","RUN") { DoReact("MONITOR","10","CONTROL_TELEMETRY","cam<4>,on<0>"); }
