Description#

The entity hold (periodic) block simply holds an discrete entity for a period of time before releasing. The internal queue uses a First In First Out (FIFO) scheme. A continuous inventory term is updated whenever entities enter or leave the block.

Mask dialog options#

Process time (hr) : scalar

The amount of time to hold each entity that enters the block. Value should be \(\in[0, \infty)\).

Ports#

In(D) : entity

Entity to hold. Expects an entity with attributes:

  • isovec (signal): Has shape [1677, 1] that represents the different isotopes tracked by F3M

  • auxparam (scalar): Function varies based on user implementation

Outputs#

Out(D) : entity

Output entity. Outputs entity with the same attributes as specified in In(D) at regular interval specified by the mask dialog parameter Process time (hr) as long as the queue is not empty. Uses a FIFO scheme.

Inv : signal

Continuous inventory signal with shape [1677, 1]. Updated when entities enter or leave the block
