The stopwatch object in VisiSat operates erratically when set to trigger on days.

[Product_Support]

Issue

The Stopwatch object in the VisiSat Bubbleland object list behaves erratically when configured to trigger on a daily basis. Specifically, when set to issue a pulse once per day, it may issue multiple pulses (2–3 times) within the same day.

Product Line

Satchwell MicroNet

Environment

• VisiSat

Cause

This is due to a software/firmware error.
Note: No fix is currently planned.

Resolution

Avoid using days as the unit for the stopwatch trigger. Instead, use hours to achieve the desired timing:

• Replace 7 days with 168 hours 

  

• Replace 14 days with 336 hours

  

If you need to display the value as days or weeks in MicroNet View, follow these steps:

Steps to Convert and Display in MicroNet View

1. In VisiSat:

   • Locate the Stopwatch object

     

   • Add the Stopwatch Rollover to the points list

     

   • Go to Tools > Export and export the points list to MicroNet View

     

2. In MicroNet View (Development Mode / Window Maker):

   • Open the relevant window
   • Add a text field (e.g., "###") to display the value
   • Add the tag for the stopwatch rollover value
   • To display the value in weeks, append /24 to the tag name

     

   Example:

   TagName/24
   

3. Using a Data Change Script:

   • Create a tag with appropriate min/max values
   • Add a data change script to convert and display the value in weeks
   • Set the "###" field to User Inputs > Analog
   • Link it to the data change tag

4. To Set Rollover in Days:

   • Click the days set area

   • Enter the desired number of days

   • Press Return to confirm

   ⚠️ Remember: The controller stores the value in hours (e.g., 14 days = 336 hours). The conversion to days is only for display in the MicroNet View interface.
