OTL Syntax

EventSourceTerm = EventHandling.ThresholdExceededEventSource(CountableTerm, CountableTerm, Variable);

Description

The OTX ThresholdExceededEventSource term creates an event source that monitors the value of a variable and an event triggers when the value goes outside a certain range. If the value of start is already outside the specified range, the event should be triggered. Event queue should start immediately as soon as the event source is created.

This event source is to apply only for the data types on which an order relation can be defined, namely the simple type data types.

A ThresholdExceededEventSource, which is applied to an uninitialized variable will count exceeded as a threshold and make no mistake.

Return Value

The Term returns the value, see table below.

In OTX, Terms are categorized according to its return data type!

Data Type	Description
EventSource	The Event Source, the changes in the value of a variable monitored within the value range.

Properties

Name	Data Type	Class	Default	Cardinality	Description
Variable	-	Variable	-	[1]	The variable which has to be monitored.
LowerThreshold	CountableType	Term	-	[1]	A value to compare. If the value of the monitored variable is less than this value, the event is triggered
UpperThreshold	CountableType	Term	-	[1]	A value to compare. If the value of the monitored variable is greater than this value, the event is triggered

OTL Examples

Float LowerThreshold1 = 1;
Float UpperThreshold1 = 99.9;
EventHandling.EventSource EventSource1;
Float Variable1 = 8;
EventHandling.Event Event1;

EventSource1 = EventHandling.ThresholdExceededEventSource(LowerThreshold1, UpperThreshold1, Variable1);

   lane
   {
      while (true) : WhileLoop1
      {
         Variable1 = Variable1 + 1;
      }
   }
   lane
   {
      EventHandling.WaitForEvent({EventSource1}, Event1);

      terminate;
