Associating Events to Variables

By using the Movicon 'Event Object' you can create a list of events, each one to be executed upon the change of its associated variable. A list of commands to be activated can be programmed for each event. However this procedure can be inverted by associating a specific event to a variable. This procedure is very handy when diverse variables have to execute the same list of commands, therefore the same event. In this case it would be much easier and faster to create only one event to which associate the command list desired, then associated this event to the variables of interest.

The association of an Event to a Variable can be done by clicking the right mouse button on the Variable in the 'List Variable' group presented in the 'Project Explorer' window and selecting the 'Associate an Event' command, or by using the same command also found in the 'Project Explorer's 'Commands' window.

A description of this powerful Movicon feature can be founded in the section headed Events as Templates.
