NSNotification

StatusUpdateListener

Callback function

 

1) DataEvent
If data entry occurs in B-gate or a device connected to B-gate, the data will be sent to the application through the registered event.
 

2) StatusUpdateEvent

If the status of a device changes, the new status will be sent to the application through the registered event. The data transmission and processing status of each host will be sent from the multi-host environment. The sent value is an integer type constant value that has been defined in advance.
