Hello Guys, Can any one tell me if it’s possible to create a stopwatch with Tulip : what i mean is to start the counter on a trigger (device output for example) and keep the counter on untill the disappearance of this output? Can i use the elapsed time on the current step in a variable (the step w…

hello @FahdERM , thanks for posting!! using the Step Time is certainly an option, but have you considered incrementing a variable (of type Interval) on a Timer Trigger?? based on what I’m understanding, this should work well for your use case. clear the Counter on Device Output [Screen Shot 1] u…

Thank you @gio for these answers. But for the second question, imagining that i have 100 WO created and i have to launch them all that day. And other thing, the problem is that in Tulip, to load a table record, we have to do this by ID so we have absolutely to know the IDs right? And what i want to …

hello @FahdERM , no problem. ah OK, with 100 Records starting on a single day it could be a little more complicated. have you considered using Table Queries to only display specific Records, for example the ones that are due within the next hour?? the User could then select the WO to launch, without…

Hello @gio . Thank you for answer. In fact, this is what i am doing right now. I am using Queries to filter WO but what i was trying to do is to launch automatically the first WO of the table without the intervention of the operator. I mean to let Tulip choose the WO to launch for him.

ahh OK, understood @FahdERM . and do the ID’s of the Table Records have a sequential logic to them?? if so you could a Timer Trigger to: increment a variable load the Table Record by that ID check for the due date on that Record would that work as a solution for you??

Hi @gio , Sorry for the late. In fact, WO don’t have a sequential logic this is will complicate things i think no? thank you,

@FahdERM , you just likely need to add a couple of Triggers. have you considered adding a Table API call to get the ID’s for the Records that you need to launch??

@gio , for the moment, the solution that i have used is to display an interactive table with filters and to let the operator choose which WO wants to launch. And may be, if it’s possible, adding a table API call to get the ID’s and to filter these records by date and by status will help me not?

@gio thank you for your help. I will use this topic Increment table ID field from the app - #3 by gio to try to develop what i want to do. have a great day,

hello @FahdERM, yes you could do something similar to: Increment table ID field from the app - #3 by gio to get the ID’s that need to be launched (sorted by any field you’d like).
