Using Formulas With Scripts

[DHague]

I have a channel with a formula that needs to be activated at a regular interval this seems to be provided with the “EverySec” function in the “Timers” script. For example, I want to be able to have the following formula:

EverySec(SetVal(101, Val()+1:Val()))

However, this causes an error. Some clarification on how this functionality is achieved would be helpful.

Thanks.

If you use this formula inside the channel 101, try
EverySec(() => { return Val() + 1; }) or
EverySec(() => Val() + 1)
The channel should be of the Calculated type.

Is there a way to edit the script to make it update every half second instead of every second?

Open the Scripts table and check the EveryPeriod method. You can use it instead of EverySec.

Thanks for the info,
I have been trying to figure out how to get the channel to stop counting at a maximum value, using limits to do this has proven to be non-functional even when tied to the channel. Currently I have the E. Low and the Low set to 0, the High and E. High set to 165, and the dead band set to 1. Is there a way to have my channel stop counting once it reaches 165 using limits or is that under a different function?

You should create a more complex function and use it inside EverySec, e.g.,
EverySec(() => MyFunc)
