Set - Reset

A simple latch-style logic block that stores a boolean state. Use it when you want a trigger to turn something on and another trigger to turn it off, while keeping the last state between evaluations.

📥 Inputs

• Set Send a TRUE signal to set the latched output.

• Reset Send a TRUE signal to clear the latched output.

📤 Outputs

• Check Current latched boolean value (TRUE when set, FALSE when reset).

🕹️ Controls

No interactive controls or widgets. This block only uses its input sockets to change the latched state.

🎯 Features

• Latching behavior that preserves the last output until changed.

• Reset takes precedence: when Reset is active the output is cleared regardless of Set.

• Stable output suitable for feeding other logic, counters, indicators, or actuators.

📝 How to use

1. Connect a momentary or conditional signal to Set to switch the latch on.

2. Connect a separate signal to Reset to switch the latch off.

3. Use the Check output as a persistent enable/flag for subsequent processing or outputs.

📊 Behavior during run

• If Reset is TRUE the output becomes FALSE.

• Else if Set is TRUE the output becomes TRUE.

• Else the output remains at its previous value.

💡 Tips and Tricks

• Use Logic Input for manual control of Set and Reset during testing.

• Pair with Rising Edge or Edge Rising when your trigger is a momentary pulse so the latch toggles only once per event.

• Use Delay Step, ON Delay or OFF Delay to create timed resets or to implement simple debouncing for noisy signals.

• Combine with Counter to count occurrences while the latch is active; feed the latch output into the counter enable.

• Use And, Or and Not to build more complex set/reset conditions (for example require multiple conditions before setting).

• Drive a visual indicator using Led Output or send the latched state to Output for external systems.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

• If the latch never changes, verify the upstream block is sending a changing boolean and consider using Rising Edge to convert a continuous TRUE into a single trigger.

• If the latch immediately clears when you try to set it, check whether the Reset input is being driven TRUE by another block.

• For bouncing or repeated triggers, add Delay Step or an appropriate edge detector to avoid multiple unintended toggles.
