The Conditional Jump link type can have one or more conditions. The conditions are
evaluated in order. For the first condition that evaluates to True, the program jumps
to the destination specified in its Jump On True box. If all conditions evaluate to
False, then the program jumps to the destination specified in the Jump On False box.
The Jump destinations can contain a step number, a step label, ”Wait”, ”Next”, or
"Repeat". If the Jump destination is ”Next”, then the program will jump to the next
step in the sequence. If the Jump destination is ”Wait”, then the program will stop
evaluating the conditions, and re-evaluate the conditions the next control loop. For
Conditional Jumps with multiple link conditions, ”Wait” should only be used for the
Jump On True/False boxes for the last condition. If the Jump destination is
”Repeat”, then the program will repeat the same step, which means it will issue all
the commands in the step.
To add, delete, or re-order link conditions in a Conditional Jump link type, use the
Condition buttons on the Step Editor toolbar (
