kitControl-NumericDelay
This component provides a so called “soft ramp” or “stepped ramp” delay from StatusNumeric In to Out. It uses values of Max Step Size and Update Time to provide a “stepped” output value. The combination of these two property values determines how quickly and how smoothly the current Out value changes as it approaches the In value.
NumericDelay component is located in the Timer folder of the kitControl palette.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Facets | Config Facets window (defaults to null units, a single decimal place, minimum=negative infinity, maximum=positive infinity) | Selects units and configures how the value displays: units defines the unit of measure fromacceleration to volumetric flow. precision defines the number of decimal places. min defines the lowest value allowed. max defines the highest value allowed. This definition applies to the Out value for this component. |
| In | number (defaults to 0.00) and null definition | Defines the input value. Typically, you set this value by
linking a numeric out value into it. You can manually configure the
default state to a numeric value or set it to null, so that when no value is linked into this property, the component
uses the default value. The component passes this numeric value to the component’s Out property in stages or steps according to the property values in the Update Time and Max Step Size properties. When null value is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the In value. |
| Update Time | hours minutes seconds (defaults to one second) | Determines how often to add the Max Step Value to the current Out value. The greater the Update Time value, the longer it takes for the Out value to match the In value. Note: An Update Time value that is equal to or less than zero (0) disables
updating. In this case, the component sets In , but passes no value to the Out property. |
| Max Step Size | number to two decimal places (defaults to 0.50) | Limits the amount that may be added with each step that occurs at Update Time. If Update Time occurs every second, the Max Step Size value (or a lesser value) may be added to the current Out value every one second until the Out value equals the In value. |
| Out | number (defaults to 0.00) and null definition | Displays the current output value as it approaches and equals the In property value. The numeric in this property changes at a rate defined by the Update Time and Max Step Size properties until the value equals the In property value. |
