Time triggered events

[Medic]

Hi experts,

Am stuck on how to implement time triggered events in EA:

I am trying to represent a schedule driven model in which events and chains of events are triggered at specific times, i.e.

t= 40, event A
t = 200, event B
t = 220, event C

where each event may be a singe operation (like start motor) or be a call to complex sequences of events represented in an activity diagram (like load, params, check sensor, start motor, run until speed = x).

I tried representing the information in a sequence diagram alone but that didn't allow the branching. Then I tried adding times into an activity diagrams but couldn't find a way of linking the separate events.

Timing diagrams didn't look promising as they only allowed the timed transitions of states.

Any thoughts on how to represent this type of problem in EA very much appreciated. I'm struggling with such basic constructs that I'm beginning to wonder if its a problem with my understanding of UML or EA...?

Have you tried Timing Details in the context of SD messages?
