MLBrulTech ECM-1220 Plug-in Documentation
Installation
- Download the most recent install package.
- Shutdown MLServer. MLServer needs to be restarted to see the
that the plug-in was added.
- Run the installer. It will prompt you for the location of
your MLServer plug-ins with the default being
C:\Program Files\MLServer\Plugins.
- Restart MLServer.
Setup
The first time you start MLServer after installing MLBrulTech, you will
need to configure it. Select "Settings" from the plug-in's menu and
enter the IP address and Port number for the ECM-1220 Resident Server
Software. Click on "Apply".
Once the IP address and port number are entered, MLBrulTech should
start collecting data from the ECM-1220 and loading it into MLServer
variables.
Commands
There are no commands. The plug-in just runs in the background
collecting data.
Variables
On startup MLBrulTech will create a set of variables
in MLServer. These variables can be used in MainLobby Scenes or used
as triggers in automation rules.

Debugging
To facilitate debugging of problems encountered while using MLBrulTech,
the verbosity of the messages written to the built in log can be
increased. By default, only errors and warnings are written to
the log. To turn on debugging messages, go to the "Log" tab in
MLBrulTech's window and change the log level to "Debug".
If you have encountered a problem, Set the log to Debug, cause
the problem, and save the log file. Send the saved log file along
with a detailed description of the problem and what steps are needed
to reproduce it to
