Release 2.0 Page 147
Enter a Boolean expression in the Digital Expression: field. Arithmetic, logical and relational
expressions may also be entered as long as the result of the expression is zero or non-zero, i.e. the
result equates to ‘TRUE’ or ‘FALSE’. When the result of the expression is ‘TRUE’ the object(s)
blinks.
To select a colour for the blink animation, click in the Blink Colour: field. The Colour Palette dialog
is displayed so that a colour can be supplied to the object. The object blinks between its current
colour and the chosen blink colour. The Colour Palette dialog is described in chapter 9, Common
Colour Palette.
Once completed, click the OK pushbutton. To abort the Blink operation, click the Cancel
pushbutton. By clicking the Browse pushbutton, a point may be directly specified, as described in
chapter 9, Runtime Actions.
Colour Change (Analogue)
Objects can be animated so they change between a variety of colours at a variety of intervals. This is
achieved using the Colour Change (Analogue) dialog.
To access the Colour Change (Analogue) dialog to add an action, select Colour Change (Analogue)
from the animation list and click the Add Action button on the toolbar. To access the Colour Change
(Analogue) dialog to modify an action, select Colour Change (Analogue) from the animation list and
click the Modify Action button on the toolbar. Refer to chapter 9, Objects, for a list of the objects to
which this action is applicable.
On selection of the Colour Change (Analogue) action, the Colour Change (Analogue) dialog is
displayed:
Enter an expression in the Analogue Expression: field which results in a real or integer value. Only
when the result of the expression reaches a value identified as a threshold does the object change
colour.
