The attached Word document contains material excerpted from Premise's online help and reformatted into a convenient, easy-to-read manual. It describes all of Premise's core objects, their methods, and examples of how to use them. Here's a sample of the System object's AddTimer method:

SYSTEM OBJECT
addTimer Creates a Timer that executes an expression at a specified interval, a specified number of times.

ADDTIMER METHOD
Creates a Timer that executes an expression at a specified interval, a specified number of times.
object.addTimer(delay, expression, repetitions, [name])

ARGUMENTS

• object (optional)
  Always the System Object.
• Delay (required)
  Time period (in seconds) from the creation of the Timer and the first Trigger, then for subsequent triggers.
• Expression (required)
  A valid string script expression.
• Repetitions (required)
  Number of times the Timer will fire.
• Name (optional)
  The name used to create the timer object in Modules.Default.Timers.

EXAMPLE
REMARKS
You can use the addTimer method to add any repeated event. For example, you can use addTimer to execute a script 30 seconds from now to flicker a light on and off. Use addEvent for one time events. If the script expression needs to contain quotes such as, this.Description = "Hallway Light", use single quotes within the double quotes. Note: Timers should not be named with sys paths such as: sys://Schema/Modules/Default/Timers/MyTimer.

REQUIREMENTS
Version 2.0
