23 COM/Automation communication functions
This group of functions covers VSE capabilities to communicate with COM/Automation clients
connected to SierraFC Protocol Suite application. ( Please refer to SierraFC Protocol Suite
Automation manual for the details how to connect to SierraFC Protocol Suite application and VSE )
23.1 NotifyClient()
This function allows to send information to COM/Automation client applications in custom
format. The client application will receive a VARIANT object which it is supposed to parse.
Format :
NotifyClient( param_list )
Parameters:
param_list - the list of parameters to be sent to the client application. Each parameter might be
an integer, string or list.
( See CSL manual for details about data types available in CSL ).
Because of the list itself may contain integers, strings or other lists – it is
possible
to send a complicated messages.
( lists should be treated as arrays of VARIANTs )
Example:
…
if( SomeCondition() )
{
NotifyClient( 2, [ in.Index, in.Level, “CHANNEL 2”, “FCP sequence”,
TimeToText( in.Time )] );
}
…
# Here we sent 2 parameters to clients applications :
# 2 ( integer ),
# [ in.Index, in.Level, “CHANNEL 2”, “FCP sequence”, TimeToText( in.Time )] ( list )
Remark:
See an example of handling this notification by client applications and parsing code in the FC
Automation document.
