Syntax
OIP(trigger, ''seq'')
trigger The trigger for the operator interface sequence.
• This parameter can be an LDO or LDI point name or
a local variable.
seq This variable represents the sequence of keystrokes you
would enter if you were using a terminal.
• The sequence must not exceed 80 characters
(including slashes) in length.
• The sequence must be enclosed in double quotes
('' '').
• For each level in the sequence that you advance, you
must enter a slash (/).
• If a pause is needed in a phone number, do the
following:
 For APOGEE firmware, enter a comma.
 For pre-APOGEE firmware, enter a period.
Use
Allows most operator functions to be executed from within a PPCL
program. This command is generally used for the following functions:
• Generating reports
• Changing point priorities
• Sending messages
• Triggering auto-dial
The OIP command uses a trigger point to determine the conditions
for execution. When the trigger point is turned on, the operator
sequence is executed once. To execute the operator sequence
again, the trigger point must be turned OFF, and then turned ON
again.

Notes
• OIP commands used to generate messages, displays, and
reports should be staggered in time (that is, do not use the same
trigger point for all OIP commands). This allows one command to
complete before another begins.
• The OIP command will appear as FAILED if the operator
sequence was entered incorrectly and the control program
attempts to execute it.
• On return from power failure, after an enable command has been
executed, or during the first execution of the control program after
a database load, the OIP command will not execute until the
trigger point toggles.
