Interval Component

Sends a start message after a determined interval (Start At), followed by a stop message after a certain period of time (Duration). Typically used to automate enabling/disabling of Generator Components as seen in Example usage below.

loadUI Interval Component

	Option	Description
	Input	Used to enable/disable the component.
	Interval Display	The grey line represents the starting delay and the blue line represents the active duration.
	Start At	When to activate (how long to wait before sending an enable message).
	End time	When to deactivate (how long to wait before sending a disable message).
	Unit for time	This affects both Start At and Duration.
	Mode	Single will run the run the interval once while Repeat will constantly repeat the interval.
	Output	Connect this to the component that is controlled by the interval component (for example a Generator).

Settings

The settings for the Interval Component have only a single tab:

Interval Advanced Properties

	Option	Description
	Description
	Unit	The unit used for setting the time (Sec, Min or Hour)
	duration	The length of time the interval will run
	startAt	The Start Time of the interval
	stateProperty	Determines whether the component is enabled or disabled
	mode	Repeat or Single

Output

• A start (enable) signal, followed by a stop (disable) signal

Controls

• Start At
• Duration - This is the amount of time the trigger should run for, must be higher than 0
• Unit (% of test, seconds, minutes)
• Enable

Example usage

The Interval Scheduler's Start At is set to 15 seconds, its Duration to 1 second and its Mode to Repeat. This will make the Interval Scheduler activate the Fixed Rate Generator for 1 second every 16th second (note that it will start with a 15 second delay before the first activation). Overall, the example project will send 32 requests in a burst, every 16th second, to http://www.google.com
