I don't think you can clear or reset the delay. If this were a requirement,
I would probably use a simple sequencer program, which could be implemented
to provide the reset/clear.
OR, if you are into tricky databases, you could use a calcout
record to do the delay and provide the reset capability. Something like
this ... (no guarantees)
grecord(seq,"$(P)XRA_seq") {
field(DO1,"1")
field(LNK1,"$(P)$(DIO)$(N2).VAL PP NMS")
field(DO2,"10")
field(LNK2,"delayCALC.VAL CA NMS")
}
grecord(calcout,"delayCALC") {
field(SCAN,"1 second")
field(INPA,"delayCALC.VAL NPP NMS")
field(INPB,"-10")
field(CALC,"A<0?B:A>0?A-1:0")
field(OOPT,"Transition To Zero")
field(DOPT,"Use OCAL")
field(OCAL,"1")
field(OUT,"$(P)$(DIO)$(N3).VAL PP NMS")
}
Theory of operation ...
$(P)XRA_seq.DO2 is the delay value (in scan times of delayCALC). When LNK2
is executed, it loads the delay value into delayCALC.VAL (I'm not sure
if the CA flag is necessary). When delayCALC scans, it decrements .VAL.
When .VAL goes from 1 to 0, the result of OCAL (1) is written to
the OUT link. delayCALC.VAL remains 0 until the sequence record preloads
it again.
To reset/clear the delay without processing the OUT link, write a negative
number to delayCALC.VAL, which will remain negative until preloaded again.
Since the .VAL field never went to 0, the OUT link will not process.
NOT TESTED !!!!!
