Creating a Task Trigger

Use event-based motion when you can model motion from a sequence of events. Events are defined by task triggers.

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 task trigger in an event-triggered Motion Analysis study:

  1. From a Motion Analysis motion study, if you are not already in an event-based view, click Event-based Motion View (MotionManager toolbar).

  2. In a task row, double-click the trigger cell.

    The Trigger dialog box appears.

  3. Select a trigger from existing sensors, previously created tasks, and time.

  4. Click OK.

  5. For sensor- or task-based triggers, select a triggering Condition:
    • For sensors, select Alert On or Alert Off to turn on or off the sensor alert.
    • For tasks, select Task Start to trigger the task action at the start of the triggering task, or Task End, to trigger the task action when the triggering task finishes.

  6. Enter the trigger time:
    • Enter the start time for the task action for time-based triggers.
    • Enter an optional time delay between the sensor- or task-based trigger condition and the task action.
