Evaluation Modes

"Evaluation" refers to two different concepts :

• The user-evaluation is triggered by the user via the interface, with a Cmd click on an outlet, or with a selection + v .
• The internal-evaluation refers to an evaluation or to a series of evaluations resulting from a user-evaluation.

This section deals with controling internal-evaluation.

Boxes can be set on four different evaluation modes, in addition to the default mode, to control the transmission of resulting data in a program, or to perform specific tasks. These modes are :

To select an evaluation mode :

1. press b to set the box on "lock" mode

2. click successively on the upper left label of the box to select other modes.

To reset the box to its initial state, press b again

Duplication doesn't affect the state of a box that was set on a specific evaluation mode : the copy will have the same parameters and will be on the same mode as the master.
