Let's use a simple example to demonstrate usage. Suppose you want to add a message to the IOX log once every 10 seconds. Here are the steps you would use:
| 2. | Right click on RealTimeClock in the Inputs and Outputs pane and select 'Configuration…' |
| 3. | Select 'Seconds' for the event period and click OK to save |
| 4. | Right click on RealTimeClock and make sure the plugin is enabled |
| 5. | Right click on Logger and make sure the plugin is enabled |
| 6. | Choose 'New Rule Set' from the Tools menu |
| 7. | Type a name for the new rule set |
| 8. | Choose 'New Rule' from the Tools menu |
| 9. | Type a name for the new rule |
| 10. | Select RealTimeClock from the Input control |
| 11. | Enter ..:..:.2 as the Filter String |
| 13. | Choose 'New Rule Output' from the Tools menu |
| 14. | Type a name for the new rule output |
| 15. | Select Logger from the Output control |
| 16. | Click the Settings button |
| 17. | Enter the text you want added to the IOX log and click OK to save |
| 18. | Choose 'Save RuleTree' from the File menu |
Now choose 'Start All Plugins' from the Tools menu. If everything is configured correctly, you'll see your message text appear in the IOX Log pane once every 10 seconds (when the real time seconds value ends with a '2').
