Chapter 3 Example 3: delay in algorithm
From the principal window, choose File / Save as and save your third application under your tutorial folder with the name example3.
3.1 Definition of the operations input, output, and calc
Create a sensor input, an actuator output, and the function calc, like in the Examples 1 and 2. (cf. 1.1.3 and calcul1 in 2.1)
3.2 Definition of the delay
To create the calcPrec delay:
- from the algorithm window, click on the + green button → dialog window: check Delay then type calcPrec<init;size> and click OK; The parameter init will be used to specify the initial value of the delay, and size the number of delays;
- in the definition window, create one input port and one output port. Enter: ? int i ! int o.
3.3 Definition of the algorithm with delay
Create an algorithm algorithmMain. Create a reference in1 to the definition input, a reference calc to the definition calc, a reference out1 to the definition output, and a reference calcPrec<0;1> to the definition calcPrec. Create dependences between the references.
The algorithm looks like the figure 3.1.
