Task System State

Description

A paradigm component defining a state within a finite state machine. It is contained within a Task System and specifies a list of Actions, which are executed when the state first gains control, and a list of Transitions, which are evaluated repeatedly until one of them succeeds and selects the next state.

Signature

Alias

state (MWEL only)

Optional Parameters

interruptible

Default

YES

If NO, then any request to pause or stop the experiment while this component is executing will be deferred until said execution completes. This behavior is inherited by the component’s children, making them non-interruptible as well.
