How to energize multiople StaticIO given only when a certain DIO is ON.

[Arctic]

I don't have much programming experience, but would like to energize and run script only when IO8 is ON, if not the script wont run but will continue scanning IO8.

clear()
if(!('StaticIO' in this)) throw "Please open the StaticIO instrument";
var IO=7

print("Running StaticIO script");
StaticIO.Channel1.Mode.text = "IOs";
StaticIO.Channel0.Mode.text = "IOs";
var dio8=StaticIO.Channel1.DIO8.Input.value
StaticIO.run()

while( dio8="1" ){ //DIO 8


// Loop at .3s rate

        for(var c = 0; c <= IO; c++){ 
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c].text = "1";
            wait(.3);
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c].text = "0";
            wait(.3);
        }
        for(var c = IO; c > 0; c--){
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c-1].text = "1";
            wait(.3);
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c-1].text = "0";
            wait(.3);}
        else if (dio8="0"){
        END
        }
}

//Error in: "file 2" line: 28 "else if (dio8="0"){END}"
//SyntaxError: Parse error

Hi @Arctic

See the following:

clear()
if(!('StaticIO' in this)) throw "Please open the StaticIO instrument";
const IO = 7
const delay = 0.3

print("Running StaticIO script");
for(var c = 0; c <= IO; c++){ 
    StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c].Mode.text = "Switch"
}
StaticIO.run()

while(wait()){ // while script not stopped
    if(StaticIO.Channel1.DIO8.Input.value == 1){
        for(var c = 0; c <= IO; c++){ 
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c].text = "1";
            StaticIO.config(); // apply changes now
            if(!wait(delay)) return; // exit on script stop
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c].text = "0";
            StaticIO.config();
            if(!wait(delay)) return;
        }
        for(var c = IO; c > 0; c--){
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c-1].text = "1";
            StaticIO.config();
            if(!wait(delay)) return;
            StaticIO.Channel0.DIO[c-1].text = "0";
            StaticIO.config();
            if(!wait(delay)) return;
       }
    }
}
