Which is better [Close output] or [Stop output]

[ FlexSim 19.0.9 ]

I want to supply 10 items from Source1.

using trigger

in condition,
I have set "current.stats.output.value == 10".

in action,
Which is better, [Close output] or [Stop output]?

How are the two different?

Hi anonymous user, the big different I see between this 2 options is, that no matter how often "Close output" was called it needs one "Open Output" to resume the output. If you "Stop output" you will need as many "resume output" as times you´ve called the stop outputs!

2x close 1x open -> open

2x stop 1x resume -> still stopped

2x stop 2x resume -> resumed

So for your problem this should not really matter.

This is exactly what I wanted to know.
Thank you!
