This driver controls the Digital View DVH-505 via RS232.
Possibly the most integration friendly set top box ever, the DVH-505 provides you with more feed back than you ever thought possible, even we were surprised!
2-way feedback is provided via variables with the ability to show a staggering amount of info as to what's going on. Some of the highlights include:
• Channel name
• Name of program playing
• Name of next program playing
• Reverse the state of the icon for current channel
• Internal temperature of the set top box
• Information on the quality of the digital feed
Any one who's installed a set top box before knows they can be prone to over heating, our driver gives you the ability to create an event based on the internal temperature of the box. Once the box reaches a certain temperature it will trigger an event within the XP-8. You can use this event to run a system macro to turn on a cooling fan or run a page flip on a touch panel to warn the end user.
A simple demo file is provided for you to get you started as well as detailed instructions.

Clear Temperature Event
This function clears the temperature event once it triggers.
Timeout: The number of seconds that must elapse before another event can trigger. Default value is 300 (5 minutes).
Events:
Temperature High
This event triggers when the settop box reaches a predetermined internal temperature. This can be used to automatically switch on cooling or warn the user.
Set the maximum operating temperature in the driver config System setting Max Temperature. Once the temperature is reached, the event will trigger. You must then manually clear the event (or it will keep triggering) by calling the Clear Temperature Event function. Once cleared, even if the unit is still overheating it will not trigger again until the Timeout period has expired.
