MoTeC Configuration 15
Channels
Channels are used to link the various systems within the PDM configuration.
For example: The input pin system generates two channels for each
configured input pin. Depending on the state of the input pin the input channel
value will be zero or one.
The channel can be selected to directly control a particular output. It can also
be used as an input to a Condition. This is a complex logic function that
combines a number of channels to create a new channel. This new channel
can then be used to control an output, or as an input to another condition.
Each channel can only be generated once, but may be used by multiple
outputs and conditions.
Channel Names
Each channel has a name to identify it. By including a dot between parts of
the channel name, channels are arranged in a tree structure.
For example: Indicators.Left and Indicators.Right would appear as Left and
Right under a node called Indicators.
The use of a dot between parts of the channel name is optional. The channel
list will be a simple flat list rather than a tree structure if it is not used.
