Trigger conditions are expressions evaluated by the Signal Signal reader module to control when recorders are started and stopped and when measurement set-up switches are performed. Trigger conditions are boolean expressions, evaluated to either true or false. A number of operators can be combined to for the trigger expression. The allowed operators in trigger expressions are shown in the table below.
= | Tests for equality. Syntax: expression = expression |
---|---|
!= | Tests for inequality. Syntax: expression != expression |
< | Tests for left side of expression being less than right side. Syntax: expression < expression |
> | Tests for left side of expression being greater than right side. Syntax: expression > expression |
<= | Tests for left side of expression being less or equal to right side. Syntax: expression <= expression |
>= | Tests for left side of expression being greater or equal to right side. Syntax: expression >= expression |
AND | Logical conjunction between left and right side boolean expressions. Syntax: boolean expression AND boolean expression |
OR | Logical disjunction between left and right side boolean expressions. Syntax: boolean expression OR boolean expression |
CHANGE | True when the specified signal changes value by at least the specified amount. Syntax: CHANGE(Signal, amount) |
CHANGE_UP | True when the specified signal increases its value with the specified amount. Syntax: CHANGE_UP(Signal, amount) |
CHANGE_DOWN | |
