Hi Alex2539,

it worked perfectly with following code:

[MeasureImage]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureHour*100+(MeasureMinute<30 ? 0 : 30)

Can you please explain me what does this line mean & do
(MeasureMinute<30 ? 0 : 30)

Thanks to Chowtoy and all other guys who helped me to solve this issue.

Cheers,
vapn

That is a conditional statement. It follows this format:

Code: Select all

(True/False condition) ? (value if True) : (value if False)
So in the case of "(MeasureMinute<30 ? 0 : 30)", first it checks if MeasureMinute is less that 30. If it is, it gives "0" as a value. If it is not less than 30, it gives "30" as a value. Then that value is put in with the rest of the formula.

Is it possible to change this code so instead of images, it changes a specific string of text every half hour? I have 33 strings of text that I want rotating (randomly if possible), on a regular basis.

Thanks, Jacob.
