Sequence with two Monitors

In the EEROS library you will find a directory with examples. Open a shell in the build directory of your EEROS library and run

$ ./examples/sequencer/sequencerTest40

This example shows a sequence with two associated monitors. The Main Sequence tries to run several steps called Step A. After each step a counter is incremented. A monitor checks for this count to reach a given level (MyMonitor). As soon as this happens an exception sequence is started. After termination of the exception sequence the original sequence resumes because the monitor property is set to resume. The Main Sequence continues and is soon interrupted by its timeout monitor because its timeout limit has expired. The timeout monitor has no exception sequence assigned to it and immediately aborts the Main Sequence and with it the application because its monitor property is set to abort.

Flow of SequencerTest4


Altering the Monitor Behavior

Change the behavior of My Monitor to restart, recompile, and observe what happens. After the exception sequence the Main Sequence restarts. This causes the counter to start with 0 and the timeout will be reset as well. Hence, the timeout monitor will never fire.
If you change the behavior of the timeout monitor to restart, things get more complicated. MyMonitor will fire, the exception sequence will run, the Main Sequence will resume, and the timeout monitor will fire. This monitor has no exception sequence but will simply restart the whole procedure.

Monitor Checking two Sequences

A next example demonstrates what happens if the same monitor checks two sequences. It can be found in examples/sequencer/SequencerTest5.

Flow of SequencerTest5

The Main Sequence and Sequence B have the same monitor. The Main Sequence tries to run several steps called Step A. After each step a counter is incremented. A monitor checks for this count to reach a given level (MyMonitor). The same monitor also checks Sequence B, which runs in parallel. As soon as the monitor condition is met, both sequences will abort because the monitor property is set to abort.
