Method Detail

start

public void start(long simTime,
                  double factor)
           throws ISimTimerException

Description copied from class: ISimTimer

This function starts the simulation clock. The simulation time will be set to the given time and simulated time will progress with the given acceleration factor. It also shows the frame displaying current sim-time if it isn't already showing.

Overrides:

start in class ISimTimer

Parameters:

simTime - initial value of the simulated time

factor - acceleration factor for simulated time

Throws:

ISimTimerException - if this function has been called before

pause

public long pause()

Description copied from class: ISimTimer

This function pauses this simulation timer, be it a Server or Client. As a result simulationActive will be false and the display will show it is paused. However, the time update thread will continue to run.

Overrides:

pause in class ISimTimer

Returns:

long the simulation time when the simulation was paused

resume

public long resume()

Description copied from class: ISimTimer

This function re-starts the simulation timer after it had been paused. As a result simulationActive will be true and the display will show that it is running.

Overrides:

resume in class ISimTimer

Returns:

long the simulation time when the simulation was resumed

changeAccelerationFactor

public long changeAccelerationFactor(double acceleration)

Description copied from class: ISimTimer

This function changes the time acceleration factor to the given value.

Overrides:

changeAccelerationFactor in class ISimTimer

Parameters:

acceleration - double the new acceleration factor

Returns:

long the simulation time when the acceleration factor was changed

terminateTimer

public void terminateTimer()

Description copied from class: ISimTimer

This function should be called terminate this Timer. It will gracefully terminate the update thread for the display.

Overrides:

terminateTimer in class ISimTimer

handleSynchronizeActivity

public void handleSynchronizeActivity(Activity synchActivity)

Description copied from class: ISimTimer

This function needs to be implemented by the inheriting class. This is because the two types of ISimTimer, ISimTimerClient and ISimTimerServer, behave differently with respect to synchronization. Having it abstract ensures that no ISimTimer can ever be constructed.

Specified by:

handleSynchronizeActivity in class ISimTimer

Parameters:

synchActivity - a synchronization Activity (see final Strings in this class for possible activities)

registerAgent

public void registerAgent(java.lang.String agentName)

sendStartActivity

public void sendStartActivity(long simTime,
                              double factor)

sendPauseActivity

public void sendPauseActivity(long simTime)

sendResumeActivity

public void sendResumeActivity(long simTime)

sendAccelerateActivity

public void sendAccelerateActivity(double factor)

sendStopActivity

public void sendStopActivity()
