Example 3 - Emulating an RS Flip-Flop
An RS flip-flop is a logic element that has two stable logic output states (on
and off) controlled by two different inputs; one of them (S) is used to set the
output (Q), the second (R) to reset it (hence the name). It can be composed, for
example, from a pair of cross-coupled logic NOR gates, but is also available
in integrated form (e.g. as TTL or CMOS ICs). Usually the output signal is
available both non-inverted (Q) and inverted (Q
). The diagram below shows
an RS flip-flop circuit. The outputs (Q and Q) both change their state on the
rising edge of the R and S inputs.

Since feedback connections are not allowed within Custom Logic, a configu-
ration as the one suggested below is recommended.

In our example, we have two GP output functions, such as the fader start of
two CD players (GP output functions 31 and 32). We want to use them as S
and R signals for our flip-flop emulation.
Step 1 Configure two GP input functions (nos. 30 and 31 in our example) as User-
Key. Set their Source to GPOutputFunction 31 and GPOutputFunction 
32. Set their no. 1 arguments to Funct 1. Define Action as set only high
for one, and as set only low for the second one. Set both TriggeredEdge
