About Sequencing Group Processes
A Group process is basically a sub-procedure that runs within your main MPT
procedure (or within another Group process). You sequence a group process to
run the same way you sequence other processes in your procedure table. The
navigation pane displays nested group processes in a tree view.
Sequence processes
within a group
In addition to sequencing the Group process, you must also sequence processes
defined in your Group process.
In your group table, you can set the Group process Start and Interrupt signals
the same way do for other processes. When you open the group table, the Start
and Interrupt signal lists include the <Group>.Start and <Group>.Interrupt
signals.
If you set a process’ Start or Interrupt control to <Group>.Start, the process
starts or interrupts when the group process starts. If you set the Start or
Interrupt control to <Group>.Interrupt, the process starts or interrupts when
the group process is interrupted.
End a group process
The Group process procedure table has a Group is done when control located at
the bottom of the window.
If you specify a signal in this list, when the specified signal is received all active
processes in this group are interrupted and the Group process ends.
You can configure a Group process so that the processes it contains run normally
even when the Group process is interrupted.
