EXAMPLE

In the following example, the names as well as the start modes of WinCC_OA managers are returned and output.

1. main(mapping event)
   
   
   {
   
   
     string pName;
   
   
     int i, sMode;
   
   
     for (int i = 0; i < pmonGetCount(); i++)
   
   
     {
   
   
      sMode = pmonGetStartMode(i);
   
   
      pName = pmonGetName(i);
   
   
      DebugN("Manager name: ", pName, "Start mode of the manager:", sMode);
   
   
     }
   
   
    }

The function outputs the names as well as the start modes of the managers as follows:

WCCOAui2:["Manager name: "]["WCCILpmon"]["Start mode of the
                manager:"][0]
