Filter Statements

To create statements, press the button from the Filter States Design window. Use the window that appears to create a condition and to specify actions to be taken if the condition is satisfied. Once a condition is true, the next condition is not exam- ined. For the next frame you remain in the current state or go to a different state, depending on the GoTo action specified in the statement. If no condition is met, the actions in the ELSE statement are taken.

For IF or ELSE IF statements, the conditions of the statement are created using the Filter Design window. If you are adding a statement, you cannot load the filter

until you return to the Filter States Design window. The Load Filter and Unload

Filter buttons on the Filter Design toolbar are disabled.

The window for the ELSE statement specifies the actions when no conditions for previous statements are satisfied. You can only specify actions and the next state to execute.

Table Table 7-8 shows a synopsis of the logic sequence for statements:
