Description
The constant block provides a constant value output. This can be valuable for testing setup
diagrams before physical sensor are hooked-up, or in any other situation where a constant output
is needed. A constant value may be modified via calibration or by setting the value of a
connected ComsTag block using telemetry, the command line SET command, or the Data tab.
This allows a constant block to be used for manual readings and other purposes. Modified values
are stored back in to the setup file.
The Read Only check box may be used to prevent the constant value from being modified by
means other than direct modification of the setup.
The Test check box is used to generate data that varies. This can be useful for system tests. When
Test is checked the data will vary as follows:
Constant Output
1 TickCount (ticks have units of
milliseconds, not synchronized
to any particular time)
2 Random Number between 1
and 32767
3 Output increases by 1
