I’m using a barcode scanner in serial device output mode to simulate specific torque analyzer output so I can test my app logic around upper and lower test limits, rounding, and reformatting to display trailing zeroes. Ultimately the torque analyzers will be connected in the same way, and when a te…

Hey @jmlowden , checking in here- Assuming your remaining question is on addressing many devices like this, you’ll want to use a variable input in the “Identifier” portion of your “Send” command. Similarly, when you make the “Connect” command (that runs when the app opens, the process begins, or w…

Yes, that is the part I need to actually muddle through and do. The other question I had was whether Tulip Player is able to report back whether the connection was successful, and the properties/settings of that connection. Is it?

@jmlowden Ah! Sorry I missed that. At the moment, we are not able to have Trigger logic act upon whatever the result of this connection attempt is. However, some notes: You could probably make some more-complex logic to do so, by leveraging the “Stop Remaining Triggers on Error” feature. For ex…

Are PID and VID unique and permanent for a given device?

Is there a way to pull the column from this ports array instead of the row?

Found it: https://support.tulip.co/docs/using-expressions-with-arrays-and-objects map_to_text_list() Converts an object array to a text array for the given key [map_to_text_list expression ex] In an application, this expression (and other map_to expressions) return the base array in the data ty…

It would be good for there to be more Knowledge Base content differentiating between Arrays and Objects (if I’ve even got that terminology right?)

Thanks for posting your solution and I’ll made a note of your suggestion to have some more documentation around this :slight_smile:
