How to reset a control

[Martin Stanley]

Hi
I am using a dial control to set a speed value for 2 out of 3 tests. The
third test however is only allowed to have one set value. As such I have
used a case structure which when tests 1 & 2 are selected, allows the value
dialled to be used for the speeds, while when test three is executed it
sends a constant and disables the dial. My question is, is there a way to
move the dial to the value of the constant for aesthetic reasons when test 3
is activated?

Any help would be appreciated.

Martin.

create a local variabe for your knob and write the constant to it.

I think there is a way to set a dial to be both a control and an indicator
at the same time (or maybe alternatively). You would switch the knob to be
an indicator and then set a value. Or, alternatively, you can disable the
knob (Create atribute node, disable) and set a value.

Create and use a local variable to write to the control when you are in
that test.
