At Day of Week
This date block is compares the selected day of week from the dropdown to the current day of the week. The At Day of Week task block consists of an input and a True and False outputs.
If the input to this block is triggered the first entry for the day of the week will be compared to the actual day of the week and if they match the True output will be triggered else the False output will be triggered.
Examples
Here is a simple example of a mission that checks if the current day of the week is "Tuesday". If it is then it will trigger a log message block to write Happy Birthday in the mission log.
Copy / Settings / Docs
Each task block has three buttons named Copy, Settings, and Help.
- Copy: This will duplicate the task block with all the current settings.
- Settings: Settings will show a dialog that allows some added configuration for the block
- Note: This allows you to add a text note for the current block. This note will appear in the log file if the Block Loggin option is enabled.
- Transition Out Time: Each block can specify a delay in milliseconds that it will wait after an output trigger is activated. This feature is generally not used but is avilable for more granular flow control of the mission if needed.
- Block Logging: If this is enabled then the internal logging of the block is turned on and will be sent to the mission log. Each block has different amounts of internal logging which can make mission logs become large in some cases. Users generally do not enable this feature because of the limits to data storage.
