9.7 Comparative Study using Run If

As a comparative study of a system with and without the use of the Run (If) command,

consider a Movie Time KPL non-toggle-off button with the following function: the first time

the button is pressed, the system goes to the Movie Prep stage, which turns on the kitchen

lights (to make popcorn), and turns on the theatre lights. The next press of the button shifts

the system to the Movie Start stage, which turns the kitchen lights off, and fades the theatre

lights down. A press of the button while in this state, shifts the system to the Movie Stop

state, which fades up the theatre lights, turns on the bathroom light (for refreshing pause),

and turns on the kitchen light (to fetch more beverage). Additional presses of the button

alternate between Movie Start and Movie Stop. The system does not turn the bathroom

light back off, simply because it may still be in use; that step could be added at the

discretion of the user.

Using the Run (If) command, the required functionality could be obtained by use of a group

of programs such as the following:

Control 'Movie Time KPL non-toggle button' is switched Off

Or Control 'Movie Time KPL non-toggle button' is switched Fast Off

Run Program 'Movie Time Prep' (If)

- No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
