Class RealTimeEventList

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Thread
      jas.events.EventList
          jas.events.RealTimeEventList

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class RealTimeEventList
extends EventList

It extends the simple event list. Each scheduled event is fired when the scheduling time corresponds with the system time. If you schedule an event today at 14:00 o'clock the event will be fired only when system clock will be over the 14:00. This event list is used when simulation engine does work in real time mode (as an emulator).
For instance: If today is 1 july 2002 and you want to schedule an event at 4 july 2002 12:00.0 the scheduling instruction is the following:
eventList.scheduleSimple(SimTime.realTime(2002, 7, 4, 12, 0), ...);

Constructor Detail

RealTimeEventList

public RealTimeEventList(EventList previousEventList)

Constructor. The simulation time unit is set to Millisecond because it is the system time unit.

Parameters:

previousEventList - The eventList that will be substituted. Maybe null.

Method Detail

step

public void step()

Make one simulation step synchronizing system clock with next event.

Overrides:
