Javascript Live Data API

Location

The Javascript API files are actually included in the ARDI installation - they are located in /plugins/optrix/ardiclient.js.

Usage

The ARDI client class is called ARDIHMI.

Below is an example of using the API…. 

var connection = new ARDIHMI();
	
//Subscribe Each Dynamic Property
connection.Subscribe("20:22:measurement",function (val) {		 
	val = parseFloat(val).toFixed(2) + " Deg C"; 		
        $('#measurement_20_22').html(val);
}); 
		
connection.ConnectTo("myservername");

Functions

The steps required to get live data are…

1) Create the ARDIHMI object.

2) Call the Subscribe function with both the name of the data point and the callback function that is called every time a change is detected.

3) Connect to your ARDI server with the ConnectTo function.
