Components in the Util folder of kitControl range from a Counter object with boolean input and a numeric output (counts active transitions) to a boolean-controlled NumericSwitch that selects one of two numeric values. A StatusDemux provides a method to logic test (true/false) a linked object for the presence of one or more status flags.

Util components also include “generator” components useful for simulation/logic testing, such as the SineWave and Ramp (each with a numeric output) and MultiVibrator (boolean output).

Starting in AX-3.6, an “Expr” (BqlExprComponent) component was added to the Util folder, available to create custom math and logic functions based upon one or more BQL expression statements. For complete information, refer to the Engineering Notes II document BQL Expression component.

The following components are included in the Util folder of the kitControl palette:
