EL_Update (FUN)

Description

This function updates event status including filtering and edge detection. The function can be called every program cycle.

 

The function input status changes are monitored every time this function is called. The event is logged when the status keeps the same state for a given time period. Separate time periods can be set for rising and falling edges.

 

When an event is logged, event ID, status and current time is saved to the event log.

 

Limitations

Initialization with EL_Init must be done before any other event log functions can be called. MultiTool Creator automatically generates initializations to the code template.
