Inserting a Second Decision Block
So far, all we’ve done is check to see if InputSwitch1 is on. If it is on, we want to
flash the first two output LEDs out of phase. To do so, we turn the first output on
and the second off for a period of time, then turn the first output off and the
second on for a time period. Our flow chart will use the flag that we previously
defined, rightOn, to keep track of which state we are in.
1. Click the Decision Block tool on the toolbar, and then click on the Then
branch to the right of your “InSwitch1 = ON” decision block. A new
decision block will be inserted.
2. Double-click on the new block to open its associated Block Properties
window.
3. Define the block’s Expression as “rightOn = TRUE,” as described
previously. Remember that rightOn is a Memory tag rather than an Input
tag.
4. Close the Block Properties window.
