The Macro object is designed to support automatic execution of a pre-defined sequence of commands upon occurrence of certain events, registered by the Axxon PSIM™ system. The settings panel of the Macro object is shown in the figure.
The table describes the parameters of the settings corresponding to the elements of the settings panel of the Macro object.
№ | Parameter | Method for entering the parameter | Parameter description | Symbols used | Default value | Value range |
1 | Identification number* | Automatically | Displays the identification number of the Macro command object in the video surveillance system. | Sequence of numbers | - | Depends on the number of Macro command objects in the digital distributed video surveillance system. |
2 | Name* | Enter the value in the field | Defines the Macro command object name. | Latin, Cyrillic and service characters | Macro | A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters apart from > and < symbols), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 60. |
3 | Disable | Is identified by the check mark | Defines the Macro command object status (enabled or disabled). | Boolean type | Not available | Yes – the Macro command object is disabled and is not in use No – the macro command object is enabled and is in use. |
Settings Group | ||||||
4 | State | Enter the value in the field | Defines the message displayed in the information board of the main menu of the Axxon PSIM system, when the given macro command is running. | Latin, Cyrillic and service characters | Not defined | 1. Standard – no message will be displayed in the information board of the main menu of the Axxon PSIM system. 2. A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 60. |
5 | Local | Is identified by the check mark | Defines the computers, which will execute the given macro command (all computers of the digital distributed video surveillance system or only the given computer). Note. This checkbox does not apply to Hide and Show reactions of any Display. Regardless of the checkbox, when called from Server/RAW, they are executed on the Server and all connected Clients; when called on Client, they are executed only on the client. | Boolean type | Not available | Yes – the given macro command will be executed by all computers of the digital distributed video surveillance system. No – the macro command will be executed only by the given computer. |
6 | Hidden | Is identified by the check mark | Defines, whether or not this macro command will be displayed in the main control panel of the Axxon PSIM system to be launched manually. | Boolean type | Not available | Yes – no macro command will be displayed in the main control panel of the Axxon PSIM system. No – the macro command will be displayed in the main control panel of the Axxon PSIM system. |
Events Subgroup | ||||||
7 | Type | Is selected from the list | Defines the type of objects in the digital distributed video surveillance system, in which registration of events initiates macro command execution. | Types of objects registered in the system. | Empty field | Depends on the total number of types of objects created in the digital distributed video surveillance system. |
8 | Number | Is selected from the list | Defines the identification number of the object in the digital distributed video surveillance system, in which registration of events initiates macro command execution. | Sequence of numbers | Empty field | Depends on the total number of the given types of objects created in the digital distributed video surveillance system. |
9 | Name | Automatically | Displays the name of the selected object in the digital distributed video surveillance system. | Name of the objects of the same type registered in the system | Empty field | A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 60. |
10 | Event | Is selected from the list | Defines the event, which, when registered for the pre-defined object, initiated macro command execution. | Events registered for the given type of objects. | Empty field | List of events is created separately for each type of object. |
Parameters Subgroup NOTE. The given subgroup is not active for some types of objects. | ||||||
11 | Name | Automatically | Defines an additional parameter for the selected type of object in the Events subgroup. | Latin, service characters and digits. | Not defined | A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 60. |
12 | Value | Enter the value in the field | Defines the value for the parameter of the Name column. | Latin, service characters and digits. | Empty field | A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 250. |
Action Subgroup | ||||||
13 | Type | Is selected from the list | Defines the type of objects in the digital distributed video surveillance system, to which the command is forwarded, when the conditions defined in the Events subgroup for macro command initiation are met. | Types of objects registered in the system. | Empty field | Depends on the total number of types of objects created in the digital distributed video surveillance system. |
14 | Number | Is selected from the list | Defines the identification number of the object in the digital distributed video surveillance system, to which the command is forwarded, when the conditions defined in the Events subgroup for macro command initiation are met. | Sequence of numbers | Empty field | Depends on the total number of the given types of objects created in the digital distributed video surveillance system. If the field is left blank, the reaction will be performed for all objects of the selected type. If you enter the symbol # in the field, the identifier of the object from which the event was received will be substituted into the reaction. Object types in Events and Actions tables may differ. When the macro is run manually from the main control panel, the # symbol is treated as if the field was blank, i.e. the macro is executed for all objects of the selected type. |
15 | Name | Automatically | Displays the name of the selected object in the digital distributed video surveillance system. | Name of the objects of the same type registered in the system | Empty field | A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 60. |
16 | Action | Is selected from the list | Defines the action, which the given device performs, when the conditions for the given macro command initiation are met. | Actions, registered by the system for the given type of objects. | Empty field | List of events is created separately for each type of object. |
Parameters Subgroup NOTE. The given subgroup is not active for all types of objects. | ||||||
17 | Name | Automatically | Defines an additional parameter for the selected type of object in the Actions subgroup. | Latin, service characters and digits. | Not defined | A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 60. |
18 | Value | Enter the value in the field | Defines the value for the parameter of the Name column. | Latin, service characters and digits. | Empty field | A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of symbols – from 1 to 250. |
Outside the groups | ||||||
19 | Response sending delay (sec.) | Enter the value in the field | Sets time period (in seconds) that must pass after events specified in the Events column occur and before executing reactions specified in the Actions column.
| Integer number | - | >0 |
20 | Fast call | Left-click in the field and click the required key combination | Sets a shortcut for a macro. Note. If the same combination of hot keys is set for several macros, when clicking a key combination, all of these macros run. | Key combinations | No | Some keys of the main or numeric keyboard, as well as these keys in combination with Shift, Ctrl and Alt. |
21 | The Icon type dropdown list | Select in the dropdown list. | Sets a set of icons for displaying a macro on the map. By default, an empty value is set for all macros which corresponds to the Macro 1 icon. Note. Changing the icon appearance will take effect after restarting the map interface. To restart the interface, restart Axxon PSIM or log in once again under the corresponding Operator account. | Available icon appearances on the map | - | Macro 1 - Macro 7, empty value. |
