The SOE will run in the MainTask context, starting already at the first cycle. The SOE will run at the
end of each MainTask cycle, comparing the mapped bits in order to detect transitions occurred in the
cycle. In this way, every cycle in which the events are generated, an increase of time in this cycle of
the MainTask will occur. In the worst case (1000 events, being generated only 1000 and discarded
the remaining ones), this influence will be approximately of 5 ms. Therefore, for an application with
the SOE enabled, the user will have to take into account this time when setting the parameters of
watchdog time and interval of the MainTask.
For the use of it the user must set the following parameters in the SOE Configuration tab:
