Description
XGATECTL
In the edge mode, a trigger input starts the delay timer that triggers the gate timer. The gate
polarity (GP), gate delay time (GD), and gate time length (GL) are operational in the edge mode,
but not in the level mode. In the level mode, the gate follows the trigger input level.
When used as a predefined variable, GATECTL returns a “0” if GATECTL has been set to
EDGE, a “ 1 n if GATECTL has been set to LEVEL.
