The Start each time block

The The Start each time block  offers the option of running a program when a condition is fulfilled. Therefore, it works similar to a case distinction, but runs not only one time, but rather every time the condition is fulfilled during the entire course of the program. The The Start each time block:

Is an abbreviation for the following construct:

You can insert all conditions from this category into the Outputs category in the the Start each time block.

Note: The program section in the Start each time block should be kept short, and should not contain any blocking calls or endless loops, so that this part of the program can be processed quickly.
