ADL 3 Manual Beacon with switch

Hello,

i use a analog Input for the start line Beacon.
It is copied from the analog channel to beacon via a math channel.
My problem that is always triggered on a rising edge and not the falling edge when i release the button.
Any Ideas anybody how i can listen to the falling edge of the signal in the math channel?

Thanks,
Sebastian

You might try one of these:

- Make your Math Channel like this:
Input 1: Value 1
Calculation Type: none
Output Channel: Beacon
Condition: SwitchChannelName Updated and SwitchChannelName False

It's possible this may not work if beacon needs to have zero values. If so, you might try doing it with a User Condition setup like this:
Condition: Momentary
Activate the output...: SwitchChannelName Updated and SwitchChannelName False
Output Channel: Beacon

- Consider changing the wiring so the switch activates a ground instead of a power. Add a pull-up resistor to your power source (or connect to an Analog Temperature or Switch Input).

Hi David,

thanks a lot!
It was not working as math channel, but the User Condition is perfect.

Thanks,
Basti
