Selecting the Task Type
From the Type combo box, select a trigger mode.
The following trigger modes are available:
Alarm tasks
Alarm tasks are triggered once at the beginning of every period defined in the Period field.
Init tasks
Init tasks are triggered only once, on start-up of the application mode they are assigned to.
Software tasks
Software tasks are triggered by operating system commands.
Interrupt tasks
Interrupt tasks are triggered by hardware events. The hardware events available depend on the target. If, e.g. the target is a transputer board, an event task could be triggered by data arriving on channel 0.
