Show Control Info
In Global Configurator, the "data values" in a Variable are comprised of a list of ______:
States
if the condition is not true?
The answer is determined with conditional logic.
The "data values" in a variable are comprised of a list of states.
These are user defined status items with unique names to help identify their functionality, and can be duplicated between Variables.
Global Configurator Plus reads commands from top to bottom,
This simplifies and streamlines both the configuration process and operation of the control system with fewer commands, and without relying on so many attributes or variables to display status or run drivers.
"If the traffic signal is green, proceed through intersection. Else, stop the vehicle." With this addition to the statement, if the signal is not green, the vehicle will not go through the intersection, but rather, stop.
This type of conditional logic is commonly referred to as 'If/Else.'

True
True or False: Labels, buttons, and levels require an ID to function properly and receive feedback.
True
True or False: The Autosave function only begins to work once the project has initially been saved.
True
True or False: The Save and Build function is used to prepare the interface for use with Global Configurator Plus.
True
True or False: The appearance and design property settings of a selected object or button can be copied and then pasted onto other objects.
True
True or False: To import a touchpanel layout into GC plus, select a .GLD file from the import layout function of the user interfaces palette

A conditional statement consists of two parts
a consideration in the "if" clause and a conclusion in the "then" clause.
Simple Conditional Logic
a single condition triggers one or multiple actions
A macro is defined as
a single instruction that automatically expands a set of instructions to perform a particular task.
Conditional logic provides the flexibility to expand a conditional statement beyond its initial evaluation,
and provide alternative actions if the condition is not true, or when the signal is not green.
Each command will trigger in the
appropriate sequence.
Events configured in the Hold Expired tab
are triggered after a button is held down for a specified time or Hold Time.
The state of a local variable can be changed or accessed from
available system commands that are set up as conditions or actions within a button command, schedule, monitor, or macro to track the status of the system.
Local variables can be defined as
containers that store data values, or states.
Conditional Logic can be used to
create more dynamic configurations.
A condition is a comparison between two values that will determine their
equality or differences.
Repeat can be used to ramp the level at
faster speeds.
The Repeat Rate is the
frequency at which a button repeats its function if the button is held down.
Macro
multiple commands can be triggered automatically by a single action
Complex Conditional Logic
multiple conditions trigger one or multiple actions
The IPL Pro and IPCP Pro are both
powerful control processors. In comparison, the main differences are the versatility of the control ports, LinkLicense support, and PoE capabilities.
Global Configurator Plus is used for configuring control processors and user interfaces
setting button functions, system parameters, and control logic.
Monitors can detect
specific conditions that are being met in order to trigger particular actions.
The state of a local variable can be changed or accessed from available system commands
that are set up as conditions or actions within a button command, schedule, monitor, or macro to track the status of the system.
If the Projector's Video Mute is OFF,
the "Else" evaluates to be true and will turn the mute ON.
If the Projector's Video Mute is ON,
then it will turn OFF upon button press.
If a Hold Time threshold has been met
then the configured actions for the Release tab will initiate when the button is released.
All button functionality can be assigned
to a button.
Global Configurator Plus reads commands from
top to bottom, and uses conditional logic where the control functions are contingent on a variety of conditions.
("if" and "then") These statements are commonly used features within programming languages to perform different actions depending on whether a condition is
true or false.
