Adding Outputs
Output/Destination(s): Each Task can have zero or more Outputs as shown on the Edit Task
screen. Outputs typically take the value retrieved from the Input/Source and use that value in
recording to a data/log file, transmitting via a radio, setting a 4-20mA current, etc. To add a new
Output, press the Add Output button. To edit the properties of an existing Output, select the
desired Output and press the Edit Output button.
Available Outputs are shown on the Add Output screen. If an option card is installed, additional
Outputs may be available and are designated by their slot within the system. The above screen
depicts an Analog/Digital expansion module installed in Slot 1.
Select the desired Output and press the OK button to open the Properties for that Output. De-
selecting the checkbox at the bottom of the Add Output screen causes the Edit Task screen to be
displayed rather than the selected Output’s Properties screen.
Some Outputs, such as log files or GOES transmissions, include multiple Tasks as part of their
processing. Each Task that is a part of that process will have an Output associated with the
Output. Oftentimes it is simpler to first create all necessary Tasks with their assigned Inputs,
then add all of the Tasks to an Output through the Output’s Properties screen rather than adding
the same Output, one by one, to each Task.
