Monitoring Source Usage

RMS can monitor source usage by using the RMSSrcUsageMod module.
RMSSrcUsageMod will track the amount of time, in minutes, a given source is
selected and logs this information to RMS when a new source is selected. This
information can be used to generate reports to determine the actual usage of a
device in a room.

Source Select

RMSSrcUsageMod monitors the selected source through
i!-ConnectLinx. i!-ConnectLinx includes 20 source selects in the standard
function list. Any standard source selected registered with i!-ConnectLinx will
automatically register in RMS by RMSSrcUsageMod. As your programming sets
the selected source on the i!-ConnectLinx device, RMSSrcUsageMod will track
the usage of the source and report it to RMS. To enable usage monitoring of a
standard i!-ConnectLinx source, simply register the source with i!-ConnectLinx
and add programming for the source select as if you were programming a button
from a touch panel:
DEFINE_EVENT
BUTTON_EVENT[vdvCLActions,1011]// VCR Select
{
PUSH:
{
// Switch the projector and switcher to select the VCR
PULSE[vdvCLActions,1011]
}
}
DATA_EVENT[vdvCLActions]
{
ONLINE:
{
// VCR Select
SEND_COMMAND vdvCLActions,"'ADD STD-1011'"
}
Additionally, you can add custom source to i!-ConnectLinx as custom actions.
Any custom action registered with i!-ConnectLinx that is named "Select ..." will
