Owning Palette: Occurrences Functions

Installed With: FPGA Module

Waits for the Set Occurrence function to set or trigger the given occurrence.

ticks timeout is the specified amount of time, in ticks, for the occurrence to occur. If the occurrence does not occur within the specified ticks timeout, the function returns a value of TRUE. If ticks timeout is –1, the function does not time out.
occurrence is the occurrence refnum that links the Wait on Occurrence with Timeout in Ticks function and Set Occurrence function.
If ignore previous is TRUE and another node has set the occurrence before this function began executing, the function ignores the previous occurrence and waits for another one.

When ignore previous is FALSE, the function checks whether another node previously set an occurrence. If so, the function executes. However, the Wait on Occurrence function only processes one occurrence at a time and does not hold multiple previous occurrences in memory.

timed out is TRUE if the occurrence does not occur within the specified ticks timeout. If ticks timeout is –1, timed out is FALSE.
