Public Function SELFTIMED_STFormatter
Selftimed_STFormatter = "Test Selftimed Message"
End Function
To create an alarm formatting routine, create a function with an “ALARM_” prefix and a single
parameter in which the group number will be passed. The return value of the function becomes
the buffer. For example:
Public Function ALARM_Formatter(Group)
ALARM_Formatter = "Test Alarm Reporting Message: " + Str(Group)
End Function
It's possible to append to the buffer, as opposed to simply overwriting it, by taking advantage of
string concatenation. The following example appends its message to the current buffer:
Public Function SELFTIMED_STFormatter
SELFTIMED_STFormatter = SELFTIMED_STFor "Test Selftimed
Message"
End Function
More than one formatting function can exist in your program, but only one self-timed and one
alarm function may be active at one time. The active routine is selected in the Iridium Custom
Formatting entry under Basic, on the Setup tab:
