trigger.timer[N].delay
Remarks
This attribute sets a fixed timer delay. Each time the timer is triggered it will use this
delay period.
trigger.timer[N].overrun
Attribute
Event detector overrun status.
Usage
overrun = trigger.timer[N].overrun
N
: is a trigger.timer value (from 1
–4).
overrun
: Trigger overrun state.
Remarks
This attribute is a read-only attribute that indicates if an event was ignored because the
event detector was already in the detected state when the event occurred. This is an
indication of the state of the event detector built into the timer itself. It does not
indicate if an overrun occurred in any other part of the trigger model or in any other
construct that is monitoring the delay completion event. It also is not an indication of a
delay overrun. Delay overrun indications are provided in the status model.
trigger.timer[N].passthrough
Attribute
Trigger pass-through enable.
Usage
To read pass-through state:
passthrough = trigger.timer[N].passthrough
To write pass-through state:
trigger.timer[N].passthrough = passthrough
N
: is a trigger.timer value (from 1
–4).
passthrough
: (In/Out) Pass-through enable/disable.
Remarks
This attribute enables or disables the timer trigger‘s pass-through mode. When
enabled, triggers are passed through immediately as well as initiating the delay. When
disabled, a trigger will only initiate a delay.
passthrough
can be either true or false.
trigger.timer[N].stimulus
Attribute
Event to cause the delay to start.
Usage
To read the delay:
eventid = trigger.timer[N].triggerstimulus
To write the delay:
trigger.timer[N].triggerstimulus = eventid
N
: is a trigger.timer value (from 1
–4).
eventid
: (In/Out) Event to trigger the timer delay.
