BpodSystem.StateMachineInfo

Description

A struct containing human-readable information about the currently connected state machine hardware.

Different state machine devices will populate this struct differently, resulting in different possible events and outputs.

It has the following fields:

• nEvents: the total number of unique events monitored from input channels

• EventNames: A character string naming each event

  • Each event is a state of an input channel

  • Use these with the AddState() function when writing state machines.

• InputChannelNames: A character string naming each input channel

  • Each channel is capable of generating multiple states

  • Use these with the SetCondition() function

• nOutputChannels: the total number of unique output channels

• OutputChannelNames: A character string naming each output channel

  • Use these with the AddState() and SetGlobalTimer() functions

• MaxStates: The maximum number of states supported by the connected state machine
