When the server is running, you can check the value of read property variables using the Current Status option.

opens. Variable names are listed alphabetically. Scroll to find the variables whose value you want to find out.

EXPRESSIONS
Expressions are used to detect a condition that triggers an action. For example, when the expression associated with a timer becomes true, the
timer starts. Similarly, when the expression associated with an alarm or event becomes true, recipients are notified and the alarm/event’s script
is executed. Expressions are also used in IF statements.
Syntax: A simple expression compares an object property to a value. Complex expressions are made up of one or more simple expressions
connected by logical operators and optionally containing parentheses.
The operators listed in Table AL are used to compare an object property to a value.

The operators listed in Table AM are used to construct complex expressions.
NOTE: The status given in the Current Status window is live. If a variable changes value while the window is open, the change will be
reflected in the window.
