Off Delay

If you want your True signal to be False after a certain period of time, you should use this block. If a True signal is now False, it continues to be True at the block output until the time (seconds) written in the block. Outputs as False after expiry.

OFF Delay Node Documentation
The OFF Delay node in AugeLab Studio is used to add a delay when an input signal goes to a False state (0). It introduces a time delay between the input signal changing to False and the output signal following suit.
Node Overview
The OFF Delay node waits for a specified period of time after the input signal changes to False before changing the output signal to False. This delay can be useful in scenarios where you need to maintain the output signal in the True state for a certain duration after the input signal goes False.
Node Interaction
1.Drag and drop the OFF Delay node from the node library onto the canvas in AugeLab Studio.
2.Connect the input signal to the input socket of the node.
3.Set the delay time in seconds using the "Delay Time" parameter. This specifies the duration for which the output signal remains True after the input signal goes False.
4.The node will output the input signal as long as it is True, and after the specified delay time has elapsed, the output signal will change to False.
Input and Output Sockets
The OFF Delay node has a single input socket labeled "Input" and a single output socket labeled "Output." The input socket accepts a boolean signal (True or False), and the output socket outputs the delayed signal.
Parameter Configuration
The OFF Delay node has a parameter called "Delay Time" that allows you to configure the duration of the delay in seconds. By default, it is set to 5 seconds. You can modify this value according to your requirements.
Implementation Details
The OFF Delay node tracks the state of the input signal and introduces a delay when the signal goes from True to False. The steps involved in the off delay process are as follows:
1.Input Retrieval: The node retrieves the input signal.
2.Delay Calculation: If the input signal goes from True to False, the node starts a delay timer.
3.Delay Duration: The node waits for the specified delay time.
4.Output Signal: After the delay time has elapsed, the node changes the output signal to False.
Usage
1.Drag and drop the OFF Delay node from the node library onto the canvas in AugeLab Studio.
2.Connect the input signal to the "Input" socket of the node.
3.Set the delay time using the "Delay Time" parameter.
4.Run the pipeline or execute the node to observe the delayed output signal.
5.Use the delayed output signal in downstream nodes or further processing as needed.
Notes
The OFF Delay node is useful in scenarios where you need to maintain a signal in the True state for a certain duration after the input signal goes False.
It can be used in automation systems, control circuits, or any application where a delayed signal transition is required.
The delay time can be adjusted to meet specific timing requirements.
The OFF Delay node can be combined with other nodes and operations to create complex signal processing workflows.
The node provides a visual and intuitive way to add a delay to an input signal and control the timing of the output signal.
It enhances the capabilities of AugeLab Studio for signal processing, automation, and control system design.
