Output

Hot keys (in brackets) can be used instead of the mouse.

Examples of commands which can go into an output symbol:

Turn Motor b rev (Close curtains - Granny Flat)
Turn Output 1 off (Turn light off - Granny Flat)
Turn Output 6 on, 4 off, 7 off (Change lights - Pelican)

[Up to four outputs can be controlled by one output symbol].
When you have entered the text, click on OK or press Enter.

Motor power control: After clicking on fd or rev you can control the power of the motor by selecting a number (0 - 100) before clicking on OK. eg.

Turn Motor c fd 50% (Two speed fan - Granny Flat)

With the Unilab Serial Analogue board the variable output DAC has the values (0 - 255). eg.

Turn DAC 128 (ie 50% output).

To obtain a progressive change, for example lifting a weight on a hoist, the motor power or DAC can be defined by a variable.

Inserting extra symbols

Any of the symbols except Start/Stop/Sub can be inserted between symbols which are in a straight column. The symbols on the flowchart below will automatically move down

Up to twenty-two symbols can be placed in one column. If columns become too long, then a sub-procedure is probably needed.
