Produce an output token on each firing with a value that is incremented by the specified step each iteration. The first output is given by the init parameter, and the increment may be given either by the step parameter or by the associated step port. Note that the increment will show up in the output only on the next iteration. If you need it to show up on the current iteration, use the{

Field Detail

$CHECKPOINT

protected transient Checkpoint $CHECKPOINT

init

public Parameter init
The value produced by the ramp on its first iteration. The default value of this parameter is the integer 0.


step

public PortParameter step
The amount by which the ramp output is incremented on each iteration. The default value of this parameter is the integer 1.


$RECORD$$CHECKPOINT

protected transient CheckpointRecord $RECORD$$CHECKPOINT
Constructor Detail

Ramp

public Ramp(CompositeEntity container,
            java.lang.String name)
     throws NameDuplicationException,
            IllegalActionException
Construct an actor with the given container and name. In addition to invoking the base class constructors, construct the init and step parameter and the step port. Initialize init to IntToken with value 0, and step to IntToken with value 1.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this actor.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.
Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Clone the actor into the specified workspace. This calls the base class and then sets the init and step public members to the parameters of the new actor.

Overrides:
clone in class AtomicActor
Parameters:
workspace - The workspace for the new object.
Returns:
A new actor.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.
See Also:
NamedObj.exportMoML(Writer, int, String), NamedObj.setDeferringChangeRequests(boolean)

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException
Send the current value of the state of this actor to the output.

Specified by:
fire in interface Executable
Overrides:
fire in class Source
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If calling send() or super.fire() throws it.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws IllegalActionException
Set the state to equal the value of the init parameter. The state is incremented by the value of the step parameter on each iteration (in the postfire() method).

Specified by:
initialize in interface Initializable
Overrides:
initialize in class LimitedFiringSource
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the parent class throws it.

iterate

public int iterate(int count)
            throws IllegalActionException
Invoke a specified number of iterations of this actor. Each iteration updates the state of the actor by adding the value of the step parameter to the state and sending the value of the state to the output. The iteration count is also incremented by the value of count, and if the result is greater than or equal to firingCountLimit then return STOP_ITERATING.

This method should be called instead of the usual prefire(), fire(), postfire() methods when this actor is used in a domain that supports vectorized actors. This leads to more efficient execution.

Specified by:
iterate in interface Executable
Overrides:
iterate in class AtomicActor
Parameters:
count - The number of iterations to perform.
Returns:
COMPLETED if the actor was successfully iterated the specified number of times. Otherwise, if the maximum iteration count has been reached, return STOP_ITERATING.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If iterating cannot be performed.

postfire

public boolean postfire()
                 throws IllegalActionException
Update the state of the actor by adding the value of the step parameter to the state. Also, increment the iteration count, and if the result is equal to firingCountLimit, then return false.

Specified by:
postfire in interface Executable
Overrides:
postfire in class LimitedFiringSource
Returns:
False if the number of iterations matches the number requested.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the firingCountLimit parameter has an invalid expression.

$COMMIT

public void $COMMIT(long timestamp)
Description copied from interface: Rollbackable
Commit changes up to the given timestamp, but not including changes made at timestamp and afterward.

Specified by:
$COMMIT in interface Rollbackable
Parameters:
timestamp - The timestamp.

$RESTORE

public void $RESTORE(long timestamp,
                     boolean trim)
Description copied from interface: Rollbackable
Restore a previous state to all the private fields of this rollbackable object.

Specified by:
$RESTORE in interface Rollbackable
Parameters:
timestamp - The timestamp taken at the time when the previous state was recorded.
trim - Whether to delete the records used for the rollback.
See Also:
Checkpoint.rollback(long, boolean)

$GET$CHECKPOINT

public final Checkpoint $GET$CHECKPOINT()
Description copied from interface: Rollbackable
Get the checkpoint object that monitors this rollbackable object.

Specified by:
$GET$CHECKPOINT in interface Rollbackable
Returns:
The checkpoint object.

$SET$CHECKPOINT

public final java.lang.Object $SET$CHECKPOINT(Checkpoint checkpoint)
Description copied from interface: Rollbackable
Set the checkpoint object of this rollbackable object. A merge operation is performed on the current checkpoint object and the new checkpoint object, so that the two checkpoint objects monitor the same set of objects when this function returns.

Specified by:
$SET$CHECKPOINT in interface Rollbackable
Parameters:
checkpoint - The new checkpoint object.
Returns:
This rollbackable object itself.

Checkpoint.setCheckpoint(Checkpoint)
