Cron Timer
apama.analyticskit.blocks.core.CronTimer
Sends a signal output based on cron-like periodic timer syntax.
The timer tick output is sent every time the time matches the pattern. Each parameter can be set to an asterisk (*) to match all times, a list of comma-separated numbers to fire at those specific times, or "* / number" to fire on every multiple of the number.
For example:
To send a signal every Wednesday at 20:30:
Day of Week: 4
Hour: 20
Minute: 30
To send a signal every 5 seconds:
Seconds: * / 5
The Days of Month and Days of Week parameters operate together such that if both are specified, then any match in either parameter triggers an output. For example, if Days of Month is set to 15 and Days of Week is set to 1, then there is an output on every Monday of the month and the 15th regardless of which day that is.
This block is not supported in simulation mode.
