Null CHOP

Summary

The Null CHOP is used a place-holder and does not alter the data coming in.

It is often used to Export channels to parameters, which allows you to experiment with the CHOPs that feed into the Null without having to un-export from one CHOP and re-export from another.

The Null CHOP also has options to force-cook nodes downstream from it.

Parameters

Cook Type - This controls how nodes downstream from the Null CHOP are triggered for recooking when the Null CHOP output changes. See also: Cook

• Automatic - Downstream nodes are triggered for recooking normally.
• Always - Downstream nodes will recook every time their data is requested.
• Selective - Select which criteria will cause downstream nodes to require recooking, using the parameters below.

Check Values - Recook when the Null CHOP values change.

Check Names - Recook when the Null CHOP channel names change.

Check Range - Recook when the Null CHOP channel range changes.

Please note that downstream cooks may also cook for a variety of reasons including viewing the contents of the data while editing nodes, etc.
