Purpose

The module FieldBypass allows for bypassing any of the input fields to the output. By optionally omitting notifications for an unchanged input, it can also be used to suppress ‘no-change’ notifications.

Details

Since a module’s fields are almost always updated when they are connected, a significant amount of computational time is required even when updating or connecting individual fields.

The FieldBypass module allows the selective update of the connected output field (just like the Bypass module does for images).

Input Selector

name: inputNumber, type: Integer, default: 0, minimum: -1, maximum: 4

Sets which input field to propagate to the output field (-1 for the last touched).

Output Field

name: outputString, type: String

Shows the value of the selected input field.

No bypass

name: noBypass, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, no changes are propagated from any input field to the output field.

Only if changed

name: onlyIfChanged, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, only actual value changes on the output field generate a notification.

Update

name: update, type: Trigger

When pressed, the output field is updated (touched) even if the value has not changed.

Nr. of Inputs

name: numberOfInputs, type: Integer, default: 5, minimum: 1, maximum: 20

Sets the maximum number of input fields.
