5.10.3.1 Press and Release

5-82 AutoTouch+
AutoTouch+ recognizes Switch Press and Switch Release as separate and
independent events. The Touch event produced by a Switch Press serves a
separate from the Switch Press itself. This system allows the user to determine
what will take place when a key is pressed and also when it is released.
This independence allows switches to take on different behaviors depending
on which functions Switch Press and Switch Release are allowed to perform.
The result is the ability for switches to operate in different modes depending
on the needs of the user.
• Press and Release: Momentary Press and Release; Pressing the key and
immediately releasing it.
• Press and Hold: Pressing and holding the key down beyond a predeter-
mined time threshold.
• Modified Press Function: Holding the AUTO MODE key will suppress the
audio toggle function, but produces the Touch event when a key is pressed.
This mode allows the switch to be punched-in without toggling its state.
Each of these functions are described below. The Modified Press Function
may be used with either Press and Release or Press and Hold operations.
The next three chapters make the assumption that the switches actuated are
in the proper enabled Control Mode as operations are carried out.
Press and Release is defined as using switches in a momentary manner. To
perform a Press and Release operation, press a work surface key and imme-
diately release it. The key is not held down any longer than it takes to toggle
the switch state.
Press and Release operations perform the following functions:
• Switch Press:
- Toggles the switch state
- Produces a Touch event
• Switch Release:
- An Un-touch event is not produced.
With Press and Release operations, switches toggle to their alternate state
when pressed and then hold that state until one of several conditions is met.
The behaviors that occur as the result of a Press and Release switch operation
is dependent on the switch's Control Mode and whether Touch Record and/or
Touch Record is engaged. Refer to chapter 5.10.2.
No­te If a switch is held down too long, it will change to Press and Hold operation.
The length of time a switch may be held down is determined by the Switch
Press and Hold Threshold in the
folder.
