Retrieving a POD Status (QAB)

The status of a POD is retrieved when DEVICE_STATUS() is called from a condition or formula. A POD must have been selected prior to the DEVICE_STATUS() call.

For example, the DP4 Till application may call DEVICE_STATUS() for the Till drawer from a formula. In this way a local field can be set up to reflect the value of the drawer status:

In the example shown, the local field is set to the value "Open" or "Closed" depending on the status of the drawer.
