Null Value

The value to use as output value when the gate is either disabled or closed.

The exact type of the value depends on the Null Value Type parameter. If the Null Value Type parameter is specified then the string value is parsed as the specified type. If the Null Value Type parameter is not specified, and the value is parsable into a float or a boolean value then it is parsed into the corresponding value type, otherwise it is used as a string value.

string

Optional

Null Value Type

The type of the value specified by the Null Value parameter. If specified, the null value is parsed into the specified type.

Option - one of:

Optional

Close Duration (secs)

The amount of time (in seconds) the gate should be closed when a close signal is received.

If the parameter is not specified, then after a close signal is received, the gate remains closed until an open signal is received. If the parameter is specified, then the gate automatically opens after the specified number of seconds, unless another open or close signal is received before the time has elapsed. On opening, if the gate is also enabled, then the latest input value is sent out as output.

This must be a finite and positive number.

float

Optional

Value

The value to pass to output.

any

Enable

Enables the gate. If the gate is always to be enabled, then leave this port unconnected.

boolean

Open

Opens the gate. If the gate is to be open at the start, then leave this port unconnected.

pulse

Close

Closes the gate. If the Close Duration parameter is specified, then the gate is closed only for the specified number of seconds.

pulse

Gated Value

Same as the input value when the gate is open and enabled. Otherwise the value specified by the Null Value parameter.

input(value)

Activated

Output pulse. Generated when the gate becomes active. The gate is active when it is both open and enabled.

pulse

Deactivated

Output pulse. Generated when the gate becomes inactive. The gate is inactive when it is either closed or disabled.
