Hi, While in the "setActions" field of a transition in FSM models one can use ahierarchical destination (like state.parameter or even state.actor.parameter) it is impossible to use a hierarchical source. Sometimes it just causes an inconvinience of having a doubling parameter in the top model (i.e. it is impossible to write state.parameter=state.parameter + 1, one ought to
have Parameter in the top model, e.g. TopPar, first increment it, TopPar=TopPar+1, and when set, state.parameter=TopPar). But there are more serious drawbacks, because of this. As an output of my SDF refinement all I needed was the final result of the simultaion. I wanted to use a Recorder actor in that refinement to be able to access the final result in the top model by setting the source in the "setActions" field to be something like: "state.Recorder.getLatest(0)". This does not work, the message I got was that "state ID is not known". Therefore I have two questions. First, whether the possibility to use a hierarchical source is going to be implemented. This was one of the issues of a message sent to the list two years ago. You can find it here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ptolemy-hackers/message/1722 Second, maybe, somebody could advice another way to get only the last result of a refinement (with an SDF director in it with vectorization factor set not to 1) Thanks, Michail Chavkin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
