Process → Process Parameters

A process has a couple of parameters. For each process you can specify the process name, the graphical extent in the network editor (widht, height) and the process behaviour in form of a set of the substeps.
The process as shown in Figure 16 has for example the name H0 and the values of the height and the width are 150 pixel for both. The specified behaviour of his infinite loop is that the process reads a value of buffer T1 and send it to another process via the buffer Y. These parameters must be specified separately for each process of the process network.

FIFO-Buffer   By selecting the toolbar button Show/Hide Parameters in the network editor or the menu item Process/Buffer → Show Parameters you can open the process parameter frame (see Figure 16).

The parameter frame shows the parameter values for the currently selected process. By editing the text input fields Name:, Height: and Width: you can enter or change the values for the corresponding parameters. The values of the width and the height are interpreted as pixel values.

By using the input elements within the areas Initial Substeps: and Loop Substeps: you can define the substeps of the process. In the area Loop Substeps: you can enter the loop substeps and in the area Initial Substeps: you can define the initial substeps. By using the text input fields Please give a new substep ... you can enter a new java statement and a number of time units as the execution time of the new substep. More details about the definition of substeps you can find in the subsection Substeps.

Neuen Teilschritt einfügen   By selecting the button Ok within an area the new substep will be append to the current substep list of the area. Within the substep list you can change a substep by editing the corresponding text input fields.

You can select a substep by using the check box next to the substep in the list. You can select all substeps if you use the check box at the end of the list.

FIFO-Buffer   By the selection of the button Delete Selected Substep in an area you can remove the selected substeps from the corresponding list.

Parameteränderungen übernehmen   By selecting the button Ok of the parameter frame you can confirm the current settings and the process will be updated in the network editor. The parameter frame will be closed.

FIFO-Buffer   For closing the parameter frame without an update of the buffer you can use the the button Cancel of the parameter frame.

The following subsection describes in details how you can connect a process and a FIFO buffer.
