Set Pneumatic Pump#

The Set Pneumatic Pump block is used to set the CTE pneumatic solenoid to turn the pneumatic pump on or off indefinitely, or until another Set Pneumatic Pump block is used. Turning the pump on will refill the attached air tank.

This is a non-blocking command and allows any subsequent commands to execute without delay.

Set Pneumatic Cylinder#

The Set Pneumatic Cylinder block is used to Sets a specified CTE pneumatic cylinder to extend or retract indefinitely, or until another Set Pneumatic Cylinder block is used.

This is a non-blocking command and allows any subsequent commands to execute without delay.
