Relating Conditions with Programs
Conditions can be used for causing programs to
start/ stop
or for
enabling /
disabling
their operation.
In this chapter we shall explain how conditions can be related with irrigation
programs, however prior to using the conditions they must first be defined.
Conditions definition is done at the
CONDITIONS LIBRARY
(see below).
The
CONDITIONS LIBRARY
can be reached through the submenu, or by
the shortcut
F3 = "Cond"
that is revealed when
the cursor is located at the column
of conditions number.
By specifying the ordinal number of the desired condition in the row of the desired
action we create a relation that will cause the action to be executed when the
condition becomes TRUE. For example in the above screen, program 1 will be started
by condition 1 and will be stopped by condition 3 when they become TRUE.
Notice that:
The
Enable
action will not start the program; it will only permit the
program to run as long as the condition is TRUE and make it wait as
long as the condition is FALSE. Same way the
Disable
action will
cause the program to wait as long as it is TRUE and let it run as long
as it is FALSE.
Shortcut to
Conditions Library
The current status of the
condition is false
Condition No. 1 when
becoming TRUE will
cause the program to
start
