If the "(expression)" check box is CHECKED, the Output Variable will be assigned the value calculated
for the specified expression in the Output Value text box. The interpretation and calculation of
expressions are detailed in the Expressions section.
Serial
A Serial Action allows you to send an Output Value to a specified port. If the "(expression)" check box is
UNCHECKED, the value in the Output Value text box will be sent as a string to the specified port.
If the "(expression)" check box is CHECKED, the expression in the Output Value text box will first be
interpreted as described in the Expressions section, and the resulting string value will then be sent to the
specified port.
Event
Triggering an event can fire actions that trigger or cancel other events. An Event Action allows you to
specify the Events to "execute" or "cancel". Executing an event means that if the event is not already
triggered at the time the Event Action is called, the event will then be triggered, and any associated
actions will be fired. Canceling an event will stop the running of any actions associated with the event,
then untrigger the event.
NOTE: When an event is triggered, it remains triggered until all actions have been completed. Once the
actions are complete, the trigger flag is reset.
Action Timing Options
Actions may be:
•
Infinite - execute the forever, or until another Action cancels the Event. Two notes: first,
checking the "Infinite" checkbox will override the "Execute" number of times field. Second,
the associated event will remain triggered unless another Action cancels the Event.
•
Executed a particular number of times. Actions may be specified to execute as many as 2
31
times. This field is not used if the "Infinite" check box is CHECKED.
•
Delayed by as many as 2
28
seconds. The value can be a real number, e.g. 2.5 for 2500
milliseconds. If the action is repeated any number of times, this delay only applies to the
first
run.
•
Repeated every
N
seconds, where
N
can be a maximum of 2
28
seconds. The value can be a
real number, as opposed to an integer, e.g. 2.5 for 2500 milliseconds.
N
applies to the time
period before the
second
and all subsequent runs.
Variables
Variables are created independently of events or actions, and any variable may be used in any event or
action. However, a variable may not be deleted until it is cleared from all the events or actions that use it.
