Start and stop an events file

You can use the context menu or command to start and stop an events file. You can also specify an events file in the
Components
tab of the
HMI Server Properties
 dialog so that it runs automatically when the HMI server starts.
TIP:
The individual events that make up an events file must be enabled for them to take effect when the file is running.
To start or stop an events file:
In
FactoryTalk View Studio
, do one of the following:
  • In the Explore window, right-click the events file and select
    Start
     or
    Stop
    .
  • In the Explore window, double-click
    System
     >
    Command Line
    . In the
    Command Line
     dialog box, type the
    EventOn
     or
    EventOff
    command and the name of the events file, for example,
    EventOn Neweds
    , and the press
    Enter
    .
  • In the Explore window, create a macro that issues the
    EventOn
     or
    EventOff
     command when it runs.
  • In a graphic display, create a button that issues the
    EventOn
     or
    EventOff
     command and provides the name of the events file as a command parameter. For example, if the name of the file name is
    Neweds
    , the command string would be
    EventOn Neweds
    .
