18. Configuring Custom Logical Behaviour
18.6
Logic -> Button 16
A
Button 16
element is typically used to create inter-cancelling button groups. For example, to create a set of
inter-cancelling signalling buttons indicating the on/off-air status of a range of studios.
The function offers 16 inputs and 16 outputs. A rising edge at one of the inputs sets the output of the same
number to a logical “1”. It remains set until a rising edge is received at another input. When this occurs the first
output is reset to “0”, and the new output is set to “1”. In other words, only 1 out of 16 outputs can ever be active.
The
Button 64
logic element is identical to the
Button 16
but offers more inputs and outputs.
If you wish to configure prioritised switching, then use a
General Parameters
Button 16
Reference name for the element.
In 1 to 16
A rising edge at an input sets the corresponding control output to logical “1”, and any other
active control output to logical “0”.
In State
Can be assigned to the
OutState
of another Button16, a
in order to
cascade elements (see below).
Or, to the
Save Out
state from a "
System Defintion -> Parameter = ElementState
snapshot in order to respond to snapshot recalls.
Pushout
After power on, the control output defined in
Preset
is set to logical “1” as a default and
there is always one active output, if you switch inputs. If you force the
Pushout
input to be
active, the default is all outputs set to logical "0" and inputs may be cancelled without
activating a different output.
Disable
When this input control signal is active, all control inputs are locked. This freezes the
current state of all control outputs until the
Disable
signal is turned off.
Reset
This input control signal resets the status of the 16 control outputs to the default. If no
Preset
is entered, the default is
Out 1
= a logical “1”. Otherwise the input entered in
Preset
is set to logical "1".
Preset
Enter the number of the input which you wish the Button 16 to reset to when
Reset
is
actioned. This is also the state which the Button 16 will reset to after a
. If no
value is entered, Button 16 resets to
Out 1
if
Pushout
is inactive, or none, if
Pushout
is
active
The control outputs appear under the “Logic -> <GroupName> -> Button 16” branch of the 'Tree Selection' window.
You will also find the element's
Out State
under “Element State -> <GroupName> -> Button 16”.
The default state after power on is
Out 1
= logical “1”; all other outputs are logical “0”.
