Anybody have an elegant solution for the following?...
Keeping it as simple as possible. Hopefully, I won't get too confusing!
Let's say you're monitoring a low level condition of 4 infeed tracks. Any of these may be "low" at any time. You want to display the status of the tracks sequentially, yet only when they are "low"
For example, when tracks 2 and 3 are low, the display will read:
"Track 2 Low"
pause
"Track 3 Low"
pause
"Track 2 Low"
pause
"Track 3 Low"
and so on...
But then track 4 goes low as well, so we now display:
"Track 2 Low"
pause
"Track 3 Low"
pause
"Track 4 Low"
pause
"Track 2 Low"
pause
"Track 3 Low"
pause
"Track 4 Low"
and so on...
Now ONLY track 1 is low, so the display will be static with:
"Track 1 Low"
Get it?... I've done things like this by using a bunch of timers and LOTS of branches, but I KNOW there must be a simpler way! It's a piece of cake with 2 items, but the more items you add increases the mess exponentially!
Anyone?...Bueller?...Anyone?......Terry?
