AlertProperty

Summary

The AlertProperty effect adds an alert that only exists at runtime (ie. only when ARDI-VE is running).

They are often used to drive cosmetic effects based on calculations that aren't being performed in your existing control or information management system(s).

Parameters

Property

Type: Property Name Default: None

The property to compare.

Comparison

Type: Text Default: ge

lessLess Than. Alert raised if the property is less than the value.
moreMore Than. Alert raised if the property is more than the value.
leMore Than or Equal. Alert raised if the property is less or equal to the value.
geLess Than or Equal. Alert raised if the property is greater than or equal to the value.
inInside a Window. Alert raised if the property is greater than or equal to the value.
outOutside a Window. Alert raised if the property is greater than or equal to the value.

Value

Type: Float Bindable Default: 0

The value to compare against.

When dealing with the in and out comparison options, this value is a dash-separated range. For example, a range of 10 to 25 would be 10-25.

Note that you can not bind to a RANGE when your comparison mode is in or out

Examples

<alertproperty property="level" comparison="ge" value="80"/>
This creates an alert that will appear on-top of an asset once the level is greater than or equal to 80%.
<alertproperty property="pressure" comparison="le" value="240"/>
In this case, the alert activates when the pressure drops below 251.
