Custom Sensor LimitMaxWarning not enabled?

Votes:

0

Trying to set and enable limits on a channel of a custom sensor. Here's my output:

<result> <Channel>Packet Loss</Channel> <Unit>Percent</Unit> <Value>$loss</Value> <ShowChart>0</ShowChart> <LimitMaxWarning>25</LimitMaxWarning> <LimitMaxError>50</LimitMaxError> <LimitMode>1</LimitMode> <!-- I've tried 0 or 1 here --> </result>

It's adding the 25/50 #'s into the channel but not enabling limits. How is that done? I understand this is only read on the first sensor scan.

Thanks! -Andrew

Updated to version 12.4.7.3507

Now when <LimitMode> is explicitly set to 1 it works as expected. Omitting <LimitMode> or setting it to 0 puts the correct values in the textboxes but does not enable the “Enable Limits” radio button.

The API documentation will be updated to reflect this.

Thank you Konstantin for your help. -Andrew
