Config list recall block
The configuration list recall block loads a specific index from a configuration list.
All parameters that are defined in the configuration index are changed and take effect before this
block completes and the next block begins.
In most cases, you should load the first configuration index at the beginning of the trigger model to
ensure that the correct initial state is set and that the trigger model is repeatable.
You must define the configuration list before you can define it in this block.
When you select the config list recall block, the following options are available.
Setting
Description
Config List
The name of the configuration list to recall the index from
Recall Index
The index to recall
Config List 2
The name of the second configuration list to recall the index from;
must be the opposite type of list than the first; for example, if the
first configuration list is a measure list, the second configuration list
must be a source list
Recall Index 2
The index to recall from the second configuration list
Config list next block
The config list next block recalls the settings at the next index of a source or measure configuration
list.
When trigger model execution reaches a configuration recall next block, the settings at the next index
in the specified configuration list are restored if a single configuration list is specified. If both measure
and source configuration lists are specified, measure and source settings are each recalled from the
next index in each list when this block is reached. The index numbers recalled may not match; it
depends on the number of indexes in each list and what index number each list is on.
The first time the trigger model encounters this block for a specific configuration list, the first index is
recalled if the list has not already had an index recalled by the recall block command in an earlier
trigger model block. If the configuration list has recalled an index with the recall block, the next index
in the list is called instead of the first. For example, the recall block recalls index 1 by default, so if the
trigger model uses a recall block before this one, the first time the set block is reached after that
recall, index 2 is recalled. Each subsequent time this block is encountered and is reached after a
configuration list had an index recalled with a recall block, the settings at the next index in the
configuration list are recalled and take effect before the next step executes. When the last index in
the list is reached, it returns to the first index.
The configuration list must be defined before you can use this block.
When you select the Config List block, the following option is available.
Setting
Description
Config List
The name of the configuration list from which to recall the next
index.
Config List 2
The name of the second configuration list to recall the index from;
must be the opposite type of list than the first; for example, if the
first configuration list is a measure list, the second configuration list
must be a source list
