Summary

This block is used to invoke an action on a target.

Note: If you want to invoke an action from an Invokable BtibComponents such as SmartOperator, BqlToWidgets, etc, you should rather use the dedicated InvokeTask block.

Implementation

• Drag and drop the block from the palette
• Link the "execute" action from the "executed" topic of the previous block

Example

This block invokes the action "resetIntegral" of a LoopPoint. This action requires no argument but if needed, an argument can be passed (a numeric for a "Set" on a Numeric Writable for example).

 Properties

• Target: SFormat to define the component whose action should be invoked. Ex: the synthesis
• ActionName: SFormat to define the name of the action to invoke. Ex: initialize, set, upload...
• Argument: Value to define the argument if needed. See General strategy parameters. Ex: no argument, 59.0, true...

Advanced Config

• UndoPolicy: Whether to do nothing on UNDO or to invoke an action (which might be a different one). Ex: On a NumericWritable, we trigger the override action with a value as argument and the auto action on UNDO.
• UndoActionName: String to define the name of the action to invoke on UNDO (Careful it's not SFormat)
• Argument: Value to define the argument if needed on UNDO. See General strategy parameters.

Behavior: DO

The action is invoked.

Behavior: UNDO

The UNDO action is invoked (See advanced config) when the block is undone.
