Output nodes send some output to a device.
Output nodes send some output to a device. What output is sent to which device can be defined in the Output tab of the properties. The value can be any Java expression that evaluates to a string, and may contain variables. Outputs to the same device are sent in the order in which they appear on the right-hand side. Outputs to different devices are sent concurrently. Select a device on the left, then add outputs using the New button. The most useful output type is Text, which sends a string to the device.
A Reset signal can be selected using the Options tab, if the developer wants to send a Reset signal to the client first, which may or may not do something, depending on the implementation of the client. If Wait until output completed is selected on this tab, the dialogue manager waits until the clients have completed all output requests. This may take several seconds, for example, for speech synthesis, before going on with the dialogue. Otherwise, it goes on immediately.
