OTL Syntax

Measure.ExecuteDeviceService(OtxLink, OtxName, {DeviceServiceArguments}, BooleanTerm executeAsync, boolean, boolean);

Description

The ExecuteDeviceService action shall execute a service provided by a measurement device. The action connects to physical devices from where it retrieves measurements.

Properties

Name	Data Type	Class	Default	Cardinality	Description
executeAsync	Boolean	Value	false	[0..1]	This option tells the communication backend to make this device service execution non-blocking. This means that if executeAsyncis set to true, the OTX execution flow will immediately move on to the next Action, without waiting for the result of the ExecuteDeviceService action.
suppressInvalidMeasurementException	Boolean	Value	false	[0..1]	This flag shall affect only those device services which declare InvalidMeasurementException in their throws block. For other device services, it shall have no effect.
Device	OtxLink	-	-	[1]	This attribute identifies the measurement device to execute the service on. The link shall point to the corresponding DeviceSignature for that device.
Service	OtxName	-	-	[1]	Identifies the service which shall be executed. The service nameshall be defined within the corresponding service declaration within the DeviceSignature.
Arguments	DeviceServiceArguments	-	-	[0..*]	Collection of Terms which allows an arbitrarylength list of in- and output arguments for the to-be-executed device service's parameters.

OTL Examples

package Measure.DeviceSignature DeviceSignature1
{
   DeviceServiceSignature DeviceServiceSignature1(in Integer DeviceServiceInParameter1, out String DeviceServiceOutParameter1);
}

public procedure main()
{
   Measure.ExecuteDeviceService(DeviceSignature1, DeviceServiceSignature1, {in DeviceServiceInParameter1 = 1, out DeviceServiceOutParameter1 = null}, false, false);
}
