Timer Node

The Timer Node triggers periodically events containing a timestamp to the output Port.

The example above shows 3 output messages for Emulation Timer Iterations: 3 and Timer Step: 1 sec

The Timer Node has 3 configurable parameters:

  • Emulation Start Time. This parameter is used to synchronise the Timer Node with timestamps in the sample data. The parameter has the minimum value 1000000000. The parameter is used for emulation and is not applied during runtime execution.
  • Emulation Time Iterations. The parameter is used to limit the number of iterations during emulation. The parameter has the minimum value 1 and the maximum value 1000. The parameter is used for emulation and is not applied during runtime execution.
  • Timer Step. The parameter is used to set the frequency of events triggereg by the Timer Node. The parameter has the minimum value 0.001 sec and the maximum value 172800 sec (48 hours). The parameter is used both for emulation and is applied during runtime execution.
