The following illustration shows the latch property sheet view of a BooleanLatch component. While the facets in this graphic are configured for a specific boolean usage, the properties are the same for all types of latch component data types.
Latch components have the following properties that are common to all latch component data types:
-
Facets
This property allows you to configure how the component value displays. For example, on a NumericLatch component you can set the units, precision, minimum and maximum value for the Out property value.
-
Clock
This is a boolean status property that has either a True or False state for all latch components. This property "latches" the input property to the output property on the "rising edge". This means that a single input property is captured and sent to the output property at the instant that the Clock status changes from a False to a True state and NOT when the property changes from a True to a False state.
-
Out
This standard component property provides the actual latched value that is captured from the input property at "latch" time. Link to this property to display the value on a graphic or to process the value with another component.
-
In
This is the standard component input property that you link into from a data source. For example, you can link into this property from a control point or a Schedule output.
