Pin Interface

This object is both a marker for groups, and a conditioner of signals.

Pins

io	letter	name	unit	description
in	I	input	auto
out	O		auto

Parameters

name	option	key	description
short name			defines the name of the pin
long name			defines the status text the pin
check	changing		tests if the data is really changing
	bad data		removes infinities and denormals

Notes

Used as a group marker, this object defines the edge of the group. When the group is used as an object, the pin interface will be converted into a pin on the group. The two check modes are useful inside of feedback loops and after filters. In either scenerio, it is sometimes impossible to predict when a signal is not changing. This may lower the performance of all down stream objects. Check changing performs a short test to see if a signal really is changing and adjusts the signal status appropriately. The data values themselves are not effected. Denormals are tiny numbers that use a special mode of the Pentium FPU. While they have increased accuracy, their cost is severely reduced performance. In general, denormals will only happen in feedback loops. If a portion of circuitry is using an inordinately large amount of clock cycles, try the check bad mode to clean up the data. Denormals will be replaced by 0 with no perceptable change in audio quality.
