7.8.17.7 Capturing Events
CRBasic example Capturing Events
(p. 257)
demonstrates programming to output
data to a data table at the occurrence of an event.
CRBasic Example 58. BeginProg / Scan / NextScan / EndProg Syntax
'Example programming to detect and record an event
'An event has a beginning and an end. This program records an event as occurring at
'the end of the event. The event recorded is the transition of a delta temperature
'above 3 degrees. The event is recorded when the delta temperature drops back below
'3 degrees.
'The DataEvent instruction forces a record in data table Event each time an
'event ends. Number of events is written to the reserved variable
'EventCount(1,1). In this program, EventCount(1,1) is recorded in the
'OneMinute Table.
'Note : the DataEvent instruction must be used within a data table with a
'more frequent record interval than the expected frequency of the event.
