Associate Registers
The Associate Sequences dialog box is used to associate sequences with registers.
Poll
The Poll table will enable the user to associate the Sequence Names with Rx registers. The result of
this association will enable the operating system to execute a Sequence when a read of a particular
register is done. This association between the registers and the labels sets up a Poll. A Poll exists
when 1 or more Sequences are executed in a sequential interval. Not all the Rx registers have to have
Sequences associated with them.
Button Press
A button press operates by writing to a register only when the button is pressed. The button is assigned
to a Rx register. The register is Associated with a Sequence Name. Writing to a register will cause the
operating system to execute a sequence.
If a Push Button is used, then a Button Press could cause a Sequence to execute and a release could
cause another Sequence to execute. Not all the registers have to have Sequences associated with them.
Button Release
A button release operates by writing to a register only when the button is released. The button is
assigned to a Rx register. The register is Associated with a Sequence Name. Writing to a register will
cause the operating system to execute a sequence.
