Purpose

The module FieldBypass allows to bypass 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 module fields will almost always be updated when they are connected, a lot 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

The output field, connected via string conversion.

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 real value changes on the output field generate a notification.

Update

name: update, type: Trigger

If pressed, the output field is forced an update even if the value has not changed.

This button is shown on the GUI as a field to enable field connections to it.

Nr. of Inputs

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

Sets the maximum number of input fields.
