Creating a Time-driven Trigger

A task trigger is the event that drives the motion control action for a task. You can define task triggers based on time, previous tasks, or sensed values, such as component position.

To create a time-based trigger:

From a Motion Analysis motion study, if you are not already in an event-based view, click Event-based Motion View (MotionManager toolbar).
In a task row, double-click the trigger cell.
The Trigger dialog box appears.
Select Time and click OK.
In the trigger Time/Delay column, enter the task duration.
