Visibility tag and timer

[rotorhub]

I am trying to get a light to work correctly, and it kind of works. Even if it is wrong.
The light is on, as long as the switch is hold, but i does not take in account if the fuel valve is shut or not.

Ideally this light should shut after 2 seconds, even if the switch is hold. The manual says "Light on for 2 seconds", valve ok. If light is hold more than 3 sec, something is wrong.
So in addition to fix the code, I need to incorporate (P:local time, seconds) to this syntax, somehow?

Anyone?

This may do it, not tested.

<PartInfo>

    <Visibility>
        <Parameter>
            <Code>
                    <!-- reset the timer -->
                    (L:T4_valve_L_Tmr, number) (P:local time, seconds) &lt; (L:T4_valve_L_Tmr, number) 0 != (L:T4_valve_L, number) 0 == and and if{ 0 (>L:T4_valve_L_Tmr, number) }
                    <!-- actual vis code -->
                  (A:CIRCUIT GENERAL PANEL ON, bool)
                  (A:GENERAL ENG FUEL VALVE:1, bool)
                  (L:T4_valve_L_Tmr, number) (P:local time, seconds) &gt; and and
                  if{ 1 } els{ 0 }
            </Code>
        </Parameter>
    </Visibility>

        <CallbackCode>
              (M:Event) 'LeftRelease' scmp 0 == if{ 0 (>L:T4_valve_L, number) }
              (M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 == if{
                  1 (>L:T4_valve_L, number)
                  <!-- apply the timer only if not already running -->
                  (L:T4_valve_L_Tmr, number) 0 == if{ (P:local time, seconds) 2 + (>L:T4_valve_L_Tmr, number) }
              }
        </CallbackCode>
</MouseRect>
</PartInfo>

EDIT - Here's an alternate where the fuel valve is taken into account ( not sure what you really need )
If the valve is open, then a 2 second test light. If the valve is closed, a 5 second test light.
Whereas, the code above will only work if the fuel valve "is" open.

                    <!-- actual vis code -->
                  (A:CIRCUIT GENERAL PANEL ON, bool)               
                  (L:T4_valve_L_Tmr, number) (P:local time, seconds) &gt; and
                  if{ 1 } els{ 0 }

Thank you very much
The code works perfectly. I will probably replace (A:GENERAL ENG FUEL VALVE:1, bool) with something that makes more sense, or an L:var. The gauge is monitoring equal flow from Port and Stbd tanks, so perhaps this is a better variable:

FUEL CROSS FEED

Cross feed valve: 0 = Closed 1 = Open
