Overview
Button Control
Discussion
A Button Inspector Control sets a variable to 1 when pushed. Once pushed, the variable will remain set until it is changed by a module or the control interface. Useful for resetting things like RunningStatistics modules.
The modVar property must be set to point to a module variable. See the ParamSet module for more detail on modVar formatting.
