In Control

I will have no difficulty learning to use program however I need to use as many as five outputs on one line. I can not find the method in the tutorial. Great program

Rab asked:

In a Multi Tracking program with 4 Tasks and each task has the ability to turn on a (common) siren if in a trouble situation.

How can I disable the siren output for a period (say 20 min) from a input and have the siren reset and be ready to operate again after the 20 minute period?

Well, folks, Christmas is looming once more. To me Christmas is about people and caring, so I thought I'd cheer up your season with a tale of real caring. These are true stories, with only the names changed.

A very dark cloud ...

A young family of my acquaintance struck some very bad luck at Easter. Jack, the husband, suffered a serious stroke. The family, Jack and Jill and children Mary (5) and Peter (4) were already in trouble, due to a business that had turned sour. They had lost their very nice home, a city warehouse apartment, and were scratching for income. Jack, a former policeman, had taken a sales job that he really hated, and was just getting up to speed with sales and commissions when disaster struck him down.

I want to tell you about a friend of mine, a very special gentleman. Remco van Santen is a retired economist cum chemist. Rem has been quite a traveler in his time, and has back packed his way around South America, the back woods of China and India.

In his travels in India Rem discovered a small hill town called Nainital. This is a beautifully situated town that in recent years has become dirty and ugly with pollution and neglect. It contains some wonderful examples of British colonial architecture that is sadly decayed, and its once-beautiful lake is dead or dying from oxygen depletion.

Rem fell in love with the town and decided to do something about it. When he told me what he had in mind I thought he had lost his marbles thinking he could move the mountains of entrenched indifference and sectional self-interest.

I am delighted to tell you I was wrong.
