Tasker is an application for the JNIOR that enables users to graphically build out
configurations for monitor or control application without the need to be a programmer.
The following is a quick overview of the different aspects of Tasker...
-
Workspaces – Workspaces enable Tasker logic to be separated into different files to easily
manage your deployments. Multiple Workspace files can be loaded and evaluated on the JNIOR simultaneously.
-
Tasks – Tasks are groups of actions you want to perform that are executed from top to bottom.
Tasks can executed manually, from a trigger event, scheduled on a specific time, or from a remote connection.
-
Devices – Some Actions used in Tasks may depend on Devices. Devices are names given to
connections on and to the JNIOR. The names are then used to make configuration in Tasks easier.
-
Signals – A name given to an I/O point or sensor to make using it in an Action, Trigger or
Logger easier.
-
Triggers – A set of conditions to watch for that when met execute a Task. The signals that
are configured will be used.
-
Schedules – Scheduling a Task can be done for a One Time execution, Daily, Weekly or by an event.
-
Loggers – Configuration to make logging easier to use in Task Actions. Loggers ask you to
provide a file path, the information to be logged to the file and the retention count. The retention count is
the number of files for that specific logger that will be kept.
