Power Tap aims to be a flexible sequencing utility; making it easy to recall control states, trigger events, and set power statuses for amplifiers, peripherals, and external devices.

The plugin features a configurable number of outputs, or “taps”, that can be individually time sequenced. Each tap offers a trigger, a set boolean, and a reset boolean for both “On” and “Off” directions as well as a state boolean that sets or follows the state of the tap. A convenient bypass button allows that tap to be skipped during the sequence for the purpose of maintenance override.

The plugin’s press-and-hold ON and OFF buttons offer a configurable press and hold time and are ideal for being placed directly on a UCI. The status readout provides clear indication on how long the button must remain pressed for and when the power sequence will be finished. The trigger ON and OFF buttons are ideal for chaining together other events that should happen without delay or activating Power Tap from GPIO inputs.

Last but not least, Power Tap features an option to reverse the Off sequence direction. When enabled, the sequence will begin at the last tap and work backwards. This allows systems that require a “mirrored” power up and down procedure to effortlessly make use of Power Tap.
