File Name Description

Source folder

<Project Name>.axs.

This is the master Source Code file for the Project/System. The name applied to the

Master Source Code file matches the name of it’s parent Project.

Include folder

RmsApi.axi This include file is provided to implement many of the RMS API channels, levels, and

command strings as constants and also to provide many helper functions that can

simplify NetLinx integration with the RMS client.

RmsEventListener.axi This include file is used to listen to the RMS client virtual device events and invoke

callback methods when a RMS event occurs.

Each event callback method can be exposed to the consuming program by including the

respective #DEFINE compiler directive. Please see the list of available event directives

in the AXI file. If a #DEFINE event directive in enabled, then the implementation callback

method must exist in the consuming code base, or else the program node will fail to

compile.
