  3. In the Port field, specify the port number to connect to the Server with Manitou software (2).

    Info
    titleNote.
    For the correct video export, in the Tweaki.exe utility set the maximum frames in one video file so the video fragment duration is shorter than the delay (for instance, 100). Otherwise it may happen that recording of the required fragment of video archive has not stopped yet when sending the message. See The Settings panel of the Video subsystem section (the Frame count parameter).


  5. In

    From the objtype

    dropdown

    drop-down list, select the type of object by the event from which the message

    is to

    should be sent to Manitou software (4).

    Note

    If you don’t select any object, messages about all objects of the system will be sent to Manitou software. This can significantly increase the system load, as a large number of video fragments will be generated. 


  6. In From the objid dropdown drop-down list, select the ID of the object of the selected type (5).
  7. Left-click in the objname field (6). It is automatically filled with the name of the corresponding object.
  8. In From the event dropdown drop-down list, select the event from the object of the selected type – when . When this event happens, the message is will be sent to Manitou software (7). If the event is not selected, then messages will be sent at on any event from the selected object.

    titleNote.
    Press the down arrow ↓ on the keyboard to add a line to the table.


  11. If necessary, set the transfer values of the tags in the table (9):

    1. The tag column determines in which tag the attribute will be created or its value set. If the field is left blank, the <Packet> root tag will be selected. This field should be left blank for a string—for it the <Packet> tag is selected by default. The format of setting the field: Tag/Tag (tag names with a slash) without specifying the root tag. Example: Signal/PacketId will be initialized as <Packet><Signal><PacketId></PacketId></Signal></Packet>.

    2. The param and value columns specify the value of the attribute and the attribute, respectively. Usage options:

      - if you specify <body> in the param column, and the required value in the value column, it will be specified directly in the tag. For example, if <body> is specified in the param, 2 is specified in the value and Signal/PacketId is specified in the tag, the result will be the following entry: <Packet><Signal><PacketId>2</PacketId></Signal></Packet>;

      - if <body> isn’t specified in the param column, the value specified in the value column will be written to the attributes of the specified tag;

      - to specify a value from the objects table, you have to specify value in "quotation marks". For example, if "objid" is specified, the object ID will be transferred. If objid is specified without quotation marks, the objid string will be transferred.

      Info
      titleNote

      There are limitations caused by the XML syntax:

      • you cannot set a value to a tag if it has child tags, and vice versa;
      • you cannot use the following characters in the value field: '/', '\', 'space', 'quotes', '<', '>', '&', 'apostrophe';
      • you cannot use the following characters in the param field: '<', '>', '&';
      • you cannot use the following characters in the tag field: 'space', 'apostrophe', '<', '>', '&', 'quotes'.

      If these characters are found, the parameter will not be saved and the reason will be logged.

      To clear the tag table, click Delete param (10).
