Clock Application

The built-in Clock application allows to show a clock, and tag events. The clock has two different behaviors depending on if it provides services or subscribes to services:

• If it provides the clock and/or tag services: it will show a clock at the specified period, and provide the associated services
• If it subscribes to the clock and/or tag services: it will show a clock associated to the subscribed services

This application also allows the user to tag events alongside the clock.

Application properties

The application configuration has one following optional property:

• "period": the period of the clock (default is 1 second)
• "xPos": the x position of the clock window
• "yPos": the y position of the clock window
• "guiPosition": the x and position of the clock window. The format is <x position;>;<y position;. This property is an alternative to setting both "xPos" and "yPos"

Note that if the clock window and the tag window are both visible, the tag window will be presented at the right of the clock window, so the windows will not overlap.

Services

See:

• The detailed description of the Services
• The detailed description of the Types
• The description of the application

Provided services

Note that you can't have both provided and required services for the clock.

If the module provides the clock and/or tag service: the clock shows the time elapsed with the specified period, and:

• Sends the clock time value with the clock service
• Allows the user to tag timed events and sends them with the tag service

Required services

Note that you can't have both provided and required services for the clock.

If the module subscribe to the clock and/or tag service:

• The clock shows the time retrieved in the clock service, with the period precision
• Shows the tag timed events retrieved in the tag service
