Timing Analysis

On the timing analysis screen are the results the analyzing your system.

The first column, ``Will Meet Deadlines'', indicates wether or not each task is garaunteed to meets its deadlines in the worst-case. If this column has a '?' next to it, this indicates that no defnitive result could be found.

The next column, ``Response Time'', indictates the worst case response time of the task. This value is the maximum ammount of time from the start of a period to completion of the task. If this value is less than or equal to the Deadline, then the task is garaunteed to meet its deadlines in the worst case.

Finally, the ``Blocking'' column records the penalty assessed to the task for time that it could spend waiting while another task is using a resource. The amount of blocking depends on the resource usage policy for the resource in question.

The rest of the columns are just basic Task data. To find out what they mean, please refer to the Task Editor documentation.
