Block

Description

A container paradigm component.

The execution order and number of repetitions of a block’s sub-components are determined by selection, nsamples, and sampling_method.

Signature

block

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.

selection

Options:sequential, sequential_ascending, sequential_descending, random_without_replacement, random_with_replacement Default:sequential

Order in which to draw selections

nsamples

Default:1

Number of samples to allow before Reset Selections is required

sampling_method

Options:cycles, samples Default:cycles

Controls the interpretation of nsamples. If set to cycles, all possible selections must be made to complete one sample. If set to samples, each individual selection counts as a sample.
