Location Format

This dialog box is used to define the format string for the alarm location text.

The language used for location format definition is the language selected for message definition.

Format​

Enter the desired format in this field using the syntax defined below.

When the location format is specified for a variable:

  • If no location format has been defined for this variable in the current language, the default location format for the current language is selected and displayed in brackets "[]".
  • To return to the default location format, clear this field.

The default location format can be configured in the alarm options ("Location" tab in the "Default Format" options group).

Syntax​

The format may contain fixed parts, reproduced as they are, and variable parts, which refer to parameters of the alarm location, using the following syntax:

  • &n: This field will be replaced by the latitude of the location displayed in degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS notation). For the decimal part of seconds, a format can be specified in parentheses using the syntax of the display format of a tag (see Tag Value). For example: &n(#.00) will display "45°12'44.91". By default the seconds are displayed with 3 decimal digits (45°12'44.913).

  • &N: This field will be replaced by the latitude of the location displayed in decimal degrees (DD notation). For the decimal part of degrees, a format can be specified in parentheses using the syntax of the display format of a tag (see Tag Value). For example: &N(#.00000) will display "45.21248". By default the degrees are displayed with 7 decimal digits (45.21247572).

  • &e: This field will be replaced by the longitude of the location displayed in degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS notation). For the decimal part of seconds, a format can be specified in parentheses using the syntax of the display format of a tag (see Tag Value). For example: &e(#.00) will display "5°47'43.88". By default the seconds are displayed with 3 decimal digits (5°47'43.879).

  • &E: This field will be replaced by the longitude of the displayed location in decimal degrees (DD notation). For the decimal part of degrees, a format can be specified in parentheses using the syntax of the display format of a tag (see Tag Value). For example: &E(#.00000000) will display "5.79552220". By default the degrees are displayed with 12 decimal places (5.795522200000).

  • &A (or &a): This field will be replaced by the altitude of the location, expressed in meters.

  • &H (or &h): This field will be replaced by the horizontal precision of the location.

  • &V (or &v): This field will be replaced by the vertical precision of the location.

  • &B (or &b): This field will be replaced by the identifier of the coverage DECT or WIFI transmitter, the last detected beacon or the nearest beacon.

  • &B(n): This field will be replaced by the identifier of the n-th beacon chronologically detected.

  • &X (or &x): This field will be replaced by the name of the coverage DECT or WIFI transmitter, the last detected beacon or the nearest beacon.

  • &X(n): This field will be replaced by the name of the n-th beacon chronologically detected.

  • &Z (or &z): This field will be replaced by the name of the zone corresponding to the detected location.
