Time Sensor Definition and Examples for Foil 74(Definition and Examples)
TimeSensor nodes generate events as time passes.
Once a Sensor or Script has generated an initial event, the event is propagated along any ROUTE's to other nodes.
  • These other nodes may respond by generating additional events, and so on.
  • This process is called an event cascade. All events generated during a given event cascade are given the same timestamp as the initial event (they are all considered to happen instantaneously).
