Is there a "display has booted"-event?

Post by toni27 » Wed Jul 16, 2014 9:09 am

Display: PV780
Config Studio: 2.7 patch 2

Hi All,

Is there a system event which is fired when the display has finished starting up?
I need it to call a function with some initializing stuff (script variables, PDM outputs).

All suggestions are welcome.

Thank you and regards

Hi Toni27,

There is not an explicit event fired when a display has finished its system boot and startup process that you could tie on to. That being said, you can certainly create your own.

It might be as simple as a one state state machine that fires all of your initialization events since a lot of the startup process is done by the time the initial state of a state machine is entered. You will have to do some testing to get what you need for your system.

If you find that your initialization state happens too soon with the one state, you could add another state and one event with a timer. The initial state would start the timer, transition to the next state where all of your initialization events are fired.

Maybe there are others out there that have different ideas?

Hi Sara,

Thank you for the support.

That was exactly the solution I used :).
I asked because I thought there should exist a simplier method, because it seemed a bit awkwardly to me.

Best regards
Toni
