Cyclic Repetition

General

• procedure onTimer;

It is possible to let certain tasks be executed at cyclic intervals. To do this

• an EbsScript-Unit must be implemented with a function ”onTimer”
• this unit can be stored either internally (within the model) or externally (on the hard disk)
• in case of internal storage the unit is inserted in the list of ”EbsScript Standard Units” under ”Model-Settings” / ”EbsScript”
• in case of external storage a path is set to this file under ”General Settings”/ ”Paths”, ”EbsScript Standard Unit Files”
• under ”Model-Settings” / ”EbsScript” the box ”Call onTimer Procedure” is checked and the cycle time is set (in milliseconds)

Example

Example of an implementation of onTimer:

procedure onTimer;
begin

messagebox ("onTimer-Procedure called");

end;
