Ports
The TrackerMaterialGenerator component has several ports. Some of the ports are always present, while for some ports the presence depends on the component parameter settings.
Triggering ports
The component has two triggering ports:
- Trigger: This port is used to initiate a transaction. The function of the trigger port depends on the selected triggering option.
- Hold: This is a digital port is used to freeze the inputs of the component. When the value of this port is true, the rest of the port values of the components are frozen, and the values of these ports will not be transferred into the component.
TrackerMaterials
The TrackerMaterials port contains information about the generated material, and must always be connected to a TMI (Tracking Material Input) port on a tracker process unit.
QualityID
This is an input port providing MaterialQualityID for the generated material when the Quality Assignment parameter is set to Port based quality.
QualityIDs
This is an input port providing MaterialQualityIDs for the generated material when the Quality Assignment parameter is set to Vector Port based quality.
ArticleID
This is an input port providing ArticleID for the generated material when the Article Assignment parameter is set to Port based article.
ArticleIDs
This is an input port providing ArticleIDs for the generated materials when the Article Assignment parameter is set to Vector port based article.
Amount
This is an input port providing amounts for the generated material when the Amount determination parameter is set to Port based amount.
Amounts
This is an input port providing amounts for the generated material when the Amount determination parameter is set to Vector port based amount.
MaterialCount
This is an input port providing the number of materials to generate on a transaction when the Material count determination property is set to Port based count.
Probability
This is an input port providing the initial individual probability of the generated material when the Material probability parameter is set to Port based probability.
Probabilities
This is an input port providing the initial individual probability of the generated material when the Material probability parameter is set to Vector port based probability.
Identifiers
The presence of identifier ports depends on the settings in the Identifier properties tab. There will be one identifier port per identifier that requires port input. The names of the ports are decided by the user.
