RMS Serial and Model

Hi Guys,

Just wondering how you deal with the registration of assets with Serial Number and Model Numbers as they cannot be change after registration.

Hopefully PhreaK sees this as he had suggested the use of #IF_DEFINED's but I can't seen to get that working properly.

Below is a snippet from a Projector, I pass a serial and model number to the module. Then I say, within registerasset, if they are both not '' go ahead and register... this does not work.

I want the code to obtain the model/serial before registration.

Thanks,
