Internal Flag (AuxFlag)

There are 16 internal flags on one ADAM-6200 module. The data type of internal flag
is digital, meaning its value is either logic True or logic False. You can read the inter-
nal flag value and use it as input condition. After you choose AuxFlag as input mode,
select appropriate internal flag by the Index combo box. (From flag 0 to flag 15) Then
you can define the condition by the Condition combo box. If you choose True in the
Condition combo box, it means only when the internal flag value equals to logic True,
the condition result is logic True. If you choose False in the Condition combo box,
only when the internal flag value equals to logic False, the condition result is logic
True. You can use internal flag to implement logic cascade or logic feedback. Refer to
Section 7.4 for more detail about how to achieve this.

Local Digital Output Channel (DO)

After you choose DO as input mode, select the channel by the Channel combo box.
The value of the selected digital output channel will directly be the input of condition.
If you choose True in the Condition combo box, it means only when the value of the
selected DO channel equals to logic True, the condition result is logic True. If you
choose False in the Condition combo box, only when the value of the selected DO
channel equals to logic False, the condition result is logic True.

Internal Counter (Counter)

There are 8 internal counters on ADAM-6200 module, you can read its value as input
condition. After you choose Counter as input mode, select the counter index by the
Channel combo box. (From counter 0 to counter 7). The count value of the selected
internal counter will directly be the input of condition. Like the Frequency Input condi-
tion, select the appropriate condition for that counter by the Condition combo box and
the Value text box. The condition will compare the value read from the internal coun-
ter and the value set by the Value text box. If condition is satisfied, the condition
result is logic True. Otherwise, the condition result is logic False.
