The revolutionary new Custom Summary window gives you unprecedented control over the information generated by Lightning/2000. Click here to download a PDF of Chapter 4 of the user manual (The Custom Summary Window). Here's a live feed from the Custom Summary window:
The Custom Summary window can contain any text you want. It can also contain any combination of the almost 200 keywords, each of which returns a value related to the current state of the lightning detection system. And the same template format used to create the Custom Summary window can now be used to control what appears on the main window's status line. For example, you could write this line in the Custom Summary template: #WriteLine( 'The stroke count is currently ' + @StrokeCount + ' strokes per minute.' ) In the Custom Summary Window, this line would appear as: The stroke count is currently 150 strokes per minute. (Assuming that there are currently 150 strokes per minute being detected). There are dozens of keywords related to stroke counts, dozens more related to stroke rate trends, record values, daily peak counts, and much more. Through the use of conditional statements, you can control precisely what you need to see in the Custom Summary window. For example: if @StrokeCount( 5 ) > 2500 then #WriteLine( 'The stroke count is extremely high. You would be wise to consult a radar image.' ) endif If the stroke count over the last 5 minutes has exceeded 2500, then this line of text would appear in the Custom Summary (or, if you choose, on the Status Line): The stroke count is extremely high. You would be wise to consult a radar image. With the nesting of if statements, an infinite number of different Custom Summary effects may be created. For example: if @StrokeCount( 5 ) > 2500 if @StrongFlashCount( 5 ) > 50 #AlertStatusLineRed #WriteLine( 'There is a potentially dangerous situation brewing.' ) endif endif
An equivalent (and more readable) way to write this is:
if ( @StrokeCount( 5 ) > 2500 ) and ( @StrongFlashCount( 5 ) > 50 ) then #AlertStatusLineRed #WriteLine( 'There is a potentially dangerous situation brewing.' ) endif This example spits out some alarming text, and sets the general alert level visible on the status line to RED. And of course, you can automatically email the Custom Summary to any number of recipients.
