kitControl-NumericDelay
In to Out. It uses values of Max Step Size and Update Time to provide a “stepped” output value. The combination of these two property values determines how quickly and how smoothly
the current Out value changes as it approaches the In value.
NumericDelay component is located in the Timer folder of the kitControl palette.

This definition applies to the |
| In | number (defaults to 0.00) and null definition | Defines the input value. Typically, you set this value by linking a numeric out value into it. You can manually configure
the default state to a numeric value or set it to null, so that when no value is linked into this property, the component uses the default value.
The component passes this numeric value to the component’s When null value is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark
you can configure the |
| Update Time | hours minutes seconds (defaults to one second) | Determines how often to add the Max Step Value to the current Out value. The greater the Update Time value, the longer it takes for the Out value to match the In value.
NOTE: An Update Time value that is equal to or less than zero (0) disables updating. In this case, the component sets
In , but passes no value to the Out property.
|
| Max Step Size | number to two decimal places (defaults to 0.50) | Limits the amount that may be added with each step that occurs at Update Time. If Update Time occurs every second, the Max Step Size value (or a lesser value) may be added to the current Out value every one second until the Out value equals the In value.
|
| Out | number (defaults to 0.00) and null definition | Displays the current output value as it approaches and equals the In property value. The numeric in this property changes at a rate defined by the Update Time and Max Step Size properties until the value equals the In property value.
