Configuration Overview
- Drag the Press and Hold component into your schematic.
- Connect the Long and Short trigger control pins (exposed by default) to the input control pins of other components. Use these pins to trigger events in your design. See Controls.
- Press F5 to save your design to the Core and run it. (Or, press F6 to emulate your design.)
- In the Press and Hold component's control panel, set a Hold Time duration (in seconds). This is the threshold that determines whether the Long trigger fires (if the Input button is pressed, held, and released for a duration longer than the threshold) or the Short trigger fires (if the Input button is pressed, held, and released for a duration less than the threshold).
- Press, hold, and release the Input button to fire the desired trigger.

Example
In this example, the Press and Hold component's control pins are wired to an Audio Player component's Play and Stop trigger pins. If the Input button is pressed and held for at least 2 seconds and then released, playback begins. But if the Input button is pushed briefly and then released (for any duration shorter than 2 seconds), playback stops.
