Hello,
I was testing some logic and wanted to be able to simulate switching modes. Instead of implementing the corresponding analog control function block, I just used a parameter of type Mode. I was experimenting with confirming a mode, and wanted to use the "Actual" field, but it is always blank. I've tried using both input and output parameters, and they both have blank "Actual" fields. I read a post about exposing the mode parameter of a Device Control (DC) block as an output and then the "Actual" field is populated. I have not tried that, because I was hoping to just use a parameter. I did try wiring an input parameter to an output parameter, but both parameters still have a blank "Actual" field. Why is the "Actual" field not populating, and/or what is the best method to test Mode.Target versus Mode.Actual?
Thanks.
