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