Schedule Actions¶
Description¶
Schedule the execution of a list of contained actions. These actions can be scheduled to occur after a user-defined delay and can be repeated multiple times with a user-defined inter-execution interval.
The actions will execute in a separate thread, independent of (and in parallel with) the main state system.
Signature¶
action/schedule
Required Parameters¶
delay¶
Initial delay before first execution (microseconds)
duration¶
Delay before each execution after the first (microseconds)
repeats¶
Number of times to repeat execution. The special value -999 causes execution to repeat indefinitely (until the experiment stops or cancel is set to true).
Optional Parameters¶
cancel¶
If set to the name of a variable, assigning a true value (e.g. true, YES, 1) to that variable will cancel all future executions of the contained actions
