trigger events

[5243]

Hi Oleg

Is this possible in one task in the trigger events tab:

check if task_01 runs longer for more than 2 minutes
then run task _02

If task_01 runs less less than 2 minutes
cyclic every 1 sec (this task)

Do you maybe have a simple example for me?

Thanks

RoboTask has no possibility to check the running time of some task. I wrote this into our ToDo. Maybe we'll implement some actions/functions for this.

In any case triggers only launches the task, nothing more. You have to put any analysis in to the task body (on the "Actions" tab).
"Triggering events" tab contains only the list of attached triggers, no other algorithms.

thank you

Is it then possible to cyclic faster than 1 second?
Maybe a expression in expression monitor?

[Oleg]

No, the minimum interval is 1 sec. This is enough for most cases
But you can use the task body in the loop
for example use the simple loop from 1 to 100

Hi Oleg,

I have one more question about the trigger events.
Is it possible to write this type of expression in the expression monitor?

Trigger 20 times at random, between 10:00 hour and 14:00 hour

[Oleg]

I'm afraid that you can't run the task randomly.

Expression monitor checks the expression one time per second.
If the value has been changed then the trigger launches the task.

I offer such algorithm:
- Create global variable RND (menu Options->Variables) with value 0.
- Use the task "random value" (see below) to change this value
- Attach to this task Cyclic trigger (suppose every 10 sec)

Code: Select all

So the value of variable RND can be changed (or not) every 10 sec.
Use your main task with Expression Monitor trigger. Use the expression: {RND}

At last:
You have to enable the task "Random Value" at 10:00 and disable it in 14:00
You have to create additional tasks for this with Scheduler trigger.

This is a little bit complex, but I'm afraid that it's impossible to make something simpler

super!
completely clear!
thanks
