Wait for an Event

 

Description

The Wait for an Event component can be used to control a waiting period during the sequence by one of the following methods:

If set for Wait for Signal Crossing, then an external variable to be monitored must be specifed.

Input Parameters

ConfigurationConfiguration

 

 Name for Identification

 

Text

 

Optional text parameter for identification of the component.

         

 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
