About Action Groups
The execution of individual actions within action-groups
The timing of the execution of individual actions within an action-group is set by the order in which they appear
in the Included list. When an action-group is triggered, it begins triggering the individual actions within the
action-group in a serial manner—from the top of the list to the bottom of the list.
You can use Delay actions to manage the sequencing of actions in an action-group.
Action-groups do not respond to triggers while executing
When an action-group is executing it will not respond to subsequent triggers until its execution is complete.
Important:
Reset does not reset the execution of an action-group, or cause the action-group to execute multiple
times concurrently.
Once an action-group has started to execute, the only way to stop its execution is to:
• Edit the action-group’s definition and click Apply.
• Load a new parameter set.
• Unload the station.
