Add Outputs

1. In the Project pane, click the Expand button adjacent to the shape. The entities show under the node of the shape.
2. Right-click an entity and select Add Output Before or Add Output After. CADFusion adds a digital output before or after the entity that you specify. When the Digital Output is selected in the Project pane, the properties of the output show in the Properties pane.
3. Configure the properties for the output. In the Properties pane, click the Output Type arrow and select the type of output that you want to add. The other properties that show are different depending on the type that you select.
   • To configure an analog output, select Analog. Set the values for Axis, Channel, and Value. You can set the value to a string and specify an AeroScript or AeroBasic #define preprocessor directive.
   • To configure a digital output, select Digital. Set the values for Axis, Bit, and Digital state of the bit number that you specified.
   • To configure a command that starts or stops data collection in Aerotech applications, select either AppDataCollection (in Automation1 projects) or Scope Trig (in A3200 projects). For ScopeTrig, you can choose the Application that will collect the data.
   • To configure a custom AeroScript function or AeroBasic command, select Custom. Specify the AeroScript function or AeroBasic command that you want to use.

   • NOTE: If you want to specify more than one AeroScript function or AeroBasic command as part of one custom output in your CADFusion project, Aerotech recommends that you use subroutines. In AeroScript, import the library and call the library function. In AeroBasic, use the FARCALL command to call the subroutine. For more information on AeroScript libraries or AeroBasic subroutines, refer to Automation1 or A3200 Help.
