Usage
:TRIGger:BLOCk:BRANch:EVENt <blockNumber>, <event>, <branchToBlock>
<blockNumber>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
<event>
The event that must occur before the trigger model branches the specified block
<branchToBlock>
The block number of the trigger model block to execute when the specified event
occurs
Details
The branch-on-event block goes to a branching block after a specified trigger event occurs. If the
trigger event has not yet occurred when the trigger model reaches the branch-on-event block, the
trigger model continues to execute the blocks in the normal sequence. After the trigger event occurs,
the next time the trigger model reaches the branch-on-event block, it goes to the branching block.
If you set the branch event to none, an error is generated when you run the trigger model.
The following table shows the constants for the events.
