Reporting Trigger Interval
The Reporting Trigger Interval triggers the creation of a report after an event has been triggered. An event is triggered when the timespan of the configured interval has expired.

Outputs
Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ipResultMessage | Contains more detailed information on the current return value. This special interface pointer is internally secured so that it is always valid/assigned. | |
bError | BOOL | This output is |
bNewResult | BOOL | When a new result has been calculated, the output is |
bConfigured | BOOL | Displays |
fbTimeLastEvent | FB_ALY_DateTime | Stores the timestamp of the last message sent to the reporting server. |
fbTimeCurrentInterval | FB_ALY_Timespan | Indicates the timespan until the next event. |
Methods
Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Call() | Local | Method for calculating the outputs for a specific configuration. |
Configure() | Local | General configuration of the algorithm with its parameterized conditions. |
Reset() | Local | Resets all internal states or the calculations performed so far. |
Pause() | Local | Method to pause the execution including the internal time intervals. |
Sample
