ERROR HANDLING

The function will fail and terminate script execution if strict error checking is enabled (see aci.SetStrictMode()) and one of the following conditions is met:

DESCRIPTION

The new text will not be directly written to the process image in aci.dll but it will be sent to the data object's station (e.g. a PLC) via the driver handling this station. The station then sends the text to all operator stations. System objects are handled internally and don't require a station.
This function may be applied to string-PVs and system objects.

aci.Obj_SetTxt("MESSAGE", "E", "Hello wolrd!")
