detect times for specific var values
Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2006 6:01 am
Hi,
Hope this is not an inappropriate place to ask this question. I am developing this model where a certain response is required at transition events. For instance, each time water level in a tank falls below 50% of its capacity, I need to generate a request for a delivery. We can also think of this problem thus: a variable produces a pulse train, and we need to detect the times when the variable transitions from 0 to 1. The point to note is that, I need to do this for an arbitrary number of times, not just once.
What it boils down to is this: I need to be able to detect and record the time when a variable reaches a specific value, or falls below a certain threshold. This feature would be very helpful for many other scenarios that I frequently come across. Any helpful ideas/techniques will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
MR
