On/off input name

In brief

Enter a name for the on/off input in the On/off input name field on the On/off input's settings page. You must make an entry, but it can be anything you like.

Details

Input names should specify the thing that the input is being used to detect. For example, if the input comes from a photobeam positioned across a 'nose-poke' hole then a good name would be 'Nose poke', rather than something like 'Photobeam 1'.

The name of the input will be included in the names of the input's results so, to avoid having very long result names, you should try to keep input names reasonably short.

Limits

You can enter anything you like up to a maximum of 32 characters.
