Event blenders
The ability to combine trigger events that occur at different times is known as event blending. An
event blender can be used to wait for a specific input trigger or to wait for up to four input triggers to
occur before responding with an output event.
There are four event blenders that can be used to monitor and respond to multiple stimulus events.
Each event blender can be configured to monitor a maximum of four different trigger events.
Event blender modes
Event blenders can be used to perform logical AND and logical OR functions on trigger events. For
example, trigger events can be triggered when either a manual trigger or external input trigger is
detected.
•
Or:
Generates an event when an event is detected on
any
one of the four stimulus inputs
•
And:
Generates an event when an event is detected on
all
of the assigned stimulus inputs
Set the
trigger.blender[
N
].orenable
attribute to configure the event blender mode. Setting
the attribute to
true
enables OR mode; setting the attribute to
false
enables AND mode.
