Text file with tags and a calculation

[pete_c]

Can I build a simple status tag txt file with a calculation on it.

Looking here to just add a percentage of Davis Vantage Pro 2 reception to the txt file.

IE:

Current file is: ( just call it radio dot text)

Total Packets Received: <#DavisTotalPacketsReceived> • Total Packets Missed: <#DavisTotalPacketsMissed> • CRC Errors: <#DavisNumCRCerrors> • ReSynchs: <#DavisNumberOfResynchs> • MaxInARow: <#DavisMaxInARow> • Battery: <#txbattery>

I want to calculate percentage using this forumula. Just putting it in the text file doesn't do any calculation and just shows the values from the webtags.

(((<#DavisTotalPacketsReceived>/(<#DavisTotalPacketsReceived>+<#DavisTotalPacketsMissed>))*100)

I am guessing that I am not doing this right or I cannot do this?

Any suggestions?

You will need to do the calculation in either a JavaScript file in the clients browser or in a PHP script file on your web server.

I'm on my phone at the no so can't post examples.

Thank you Mark.

So using the example (and I know I am wrong right now) it would be something like:

<?php
require_once("cumulusradio.php");
echo $time;
echo "<br/>";
Echo "Current Radio Reception: " & "(($DavisTotalPacketsReceived/$DavisTotalPacketsMissed)+$DavisTotalPacketsReceived)100)"& %"
?>

Went to looking at banner php stuff and testing it; it works fine on my webserver.

Looking at integrating Cumulus stuff with my automation stuff here for a little status mini banner of sorts.
