EventSourceTerm = Measure.DeviceEventSource(OtxLink);

Description

This term enables an OTX sequence to use a measurement device as a source for events in the context of the OTX EventHandling extension. A measurement device (driver) shall trigger an event every time a new output parameter from one of its services has arrived.

OTL Examples

/// Signatures

package Measure.DeviceSignature DeviceSignature1
{
	Measure.DeviceServiceSignature Add(in Integer a, out Measure.Measurement Measurement);
}

/// Global Declarations

public procedure main()
{
	/// Local Declarations

	Measure.Measurement Measurement1;
	Integer a1 = 10;
	EventHandling.EventSource EventSource1;

	/// Flow

        EventSource1 = Measure.DeviceEventSource(DeviceSignature1);
	Measure.ExecuteDeviceService(DeviceSignature1, Add, {a = a1, Measurement = Measurement1}, false, false);
}
