## Node Properties

### Mode

Parameter ID: `GV_MONOFLOP_MODE`

In the **Attribute Manager**, choose the desired countdown mode:

Normal

The countdown beings once the Trigger port's value changes from 1 to 0. In other words, nothing happens when the node is enabled. Only once the node is disabled will the clock start ticking

OneShot

The node starts counting down as soon as the value **1** arrives at the Trigger port.

For both modes, the following applies: If the node is triggered while in the middle of a countdown, the countdown starts again from the beginning.
