The Wait for an Event component can be used to control a waiting period during the sequence by one of the following methods:
Wait For Fixed Delay
Wait For Random Delay
Wait Until Specified Time
Wait For Signal Crossing
If set for Wait for Signal Crossing, then an external variable to be monitored must be specifed.

Wait |
|
Choice |
|
Select one of the wait periods defined in the description above |
|
|
|
|
|
Crossing Direction |
|
Choice |
|
Select From Negative to Positive, From Positive to Negative or In Any Direction. This parameter is only enabled if Wait | For Signal Crossing is selected |
|
|
|
|
|
Wait for Time Delay |
|
REAL |
Variable |
Enter a fixed time for delay. This parameter is only enabled if Wait | For Fixed Delay is selected |
|
|
|
|
|
Minimum Time for the Random Delay |
|
REAL |
Constant |
Enter a minimum time for random delay. This parameter is only enabled if Wait | For Random Delay is selected [s] |
|
|
|
|
|
Maximum Time for the Random Delay |
|
REAL |
Constant |
Enter a maximum time for random delay. This parameter is only enabled if Wait | For Random Delay is selected [s] |
|
|
|
|
|
Regenerate the Seed if Starting from a Snapshot? |
|
Choice |
|
Select Yes or No. Enabled only if Wait | For Random Delay is selected.
If No is selected and the case is started from a snapshot, the random wait time generated by this component will be the same — in other words, repeatable. If Yes is selected and the case is started from a snapshot, the random wait time generated will be different for each execution (i.e. non-repeatable). If the case is started normally (i.e. from the datafile), the random wait time will be different for each execution (i.e. non-repeatable). |

|
|
Wait Until Time |
|
REAL |
Variable |
Enter a time for which to wait until. This parameter is only enabled if Wait | Until Specified Time is selected [s] |
|
|
|
|
|
Enter Crossing Value |
|
REAL |
Variable |
Enter a value to which to compare the specified monitored signal for crossing. This parameter is only enabled if Wait | For Signal Crossing is selected [s] |
|
|
|
|
|
Enter Crossing Signal Name |
|
REAL |
Variable |
Enter the name of the signal to be monitored |
