Declare a keyed ARGUS event with board-state and firing-state channels.

Syntax

event <event_key>:

Available in

File scope

Native C++

Event metadata is parsed by the engine in both modes. Generated trigger and handler calculation bodies must use the native numeric subset when this file selects Native C++.

Lifecycle

The event channel is 1 while the event is on the active board. The firing channel is 1 while trigger pulses continue within five seconds. Resolution requires acknowledgement and a stopped firing state.

Runtime sections

trigger
on_firing
on_event

Generated channels

<event_key>
<event_key>_firing
<event_key>_trigger (when trigger: is present)

Example

event event_key:
    title: "Event title"
    type: ${3|message,warning,error,abort,hold,prompt|}
    description: "What happened"
    resolution: "How to resolve it"

    trigger:

    on_firing:
        -- automate the live firing state with value

    on_event:
        -- automate board presence with value
