Write Scheduled Endpoint

Requires: Base Development System

Writes an element to a Stream channel at a scheduled time. The endpoint waits until the scheduled time and continues waiting if the channel is full at the scheduled time.

You can drop this endpoint on the block diagram by right-clicking a terminal or a wire and selecting Create»Channel Writer»Stream»Write Scheduled.

Details  

scheduled time specifies the time when the endpoint should write data to the channel.
element valid? specifies whether the element is valid. If TRUE, the endpoint records the element valid? flag. If FALSE, the endpoint ignores the value of element. The endpoint does nothing if both element valid? and last element? are FALSE. The default is TRUE.
element specifies the data to write to the channel.
last element? specifies whether this is the last element that the endpoint writes to the channel. The default is FALSE. If TRUE, the endpoint marks the channel as closed and ignores further calls to write. The reader endpoint can continue reading data until the last element? output of the reader endpoint returns TRUE.
size specifies the maximum number of elements that can be buffered in the channel. The default is unlimited. The channel size is initialized on the first call to the writer endpoint, after which the endpoint ignores the size input.
actual time returns the actual time when the endpoint wrote data to the channel.
count returns the number of elements in the channel after this endpoint updates the channel. Use this output to monitor the relative writing and reading speed of the channel endpoints and make adjustments, if necessary.
channel is the channel wire that connects this endpoint to a reader endpoint.
