kewakl (Customer) asked a question.
The 'Write Sequence Out' and 'Wait Sequence In' sequence step commands do NOT accept the provided boolean array entry.
Help topic P325 says that these tags should be 8-element Boolean arrays
MSEQ and MMSEQ act this way.
What am I doing wrong?
[Resolution: These fields only require the numeric INDEX into the specified array, not the whole array tagname.]
I just checked mine and I can pick an int8 array tag from the dropdown.
The help topic specifies a BOOL array for Seq In and Seq Out, and that the valid states are TRUE and FALSE (and for the Seq In, a wait time in mSec)
I can select int/float. I would prefer the BOOL() as specified in P325
Ok sorry about that misunderstood. Let me look into this with the developer.
Thank you very much.
I do not have the hardware to test this. I do not know if an INT array will work for me and do what I need.
From our developer: In the picture, the SeqIn Boolean array tag is si and the SeqOut Boolean array tag is
so. The Param 1 column is the index into those arrays, not the arrays themselves — that's why the tag selector accepts int/float there.
I just tested this in 4.7.0.47, and it works correctly with both integer and float tags in the Param 1 column.
The third picture shows the help file with the correct requirement circled: it calls for a Boolean array index, not a Boolean array.
Give it a try — it works as designed.
Thank you. I cannot test this without the hardware, but I can understand the idea behind your last post!
Thanks again
