StringHolder Components

Building a Model with Elementary Components

The following list documents the logic of the StringHolder component:

sets the value as specified in the StringHolder Control Panel; then flows the transaction to each arc directed away from the component.

passes on the request to all arcs directed into the component.

if any component on an arc leading out of the Trigger is busy, then return TRUE; otherwise, return FALSE.
