Exponent

The Exponent task block consists of an input and an done output.

If the input to the Exponent block is triggered the value in the first entry will be raised to the power of the value in the second entry and the result will then be placed into a variable setup in the third entry.

Examples

Here is a simple example of a mission that raises 10 to the power of 3 and puts the new value into 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.
