public class FollowingProgramMerit
extends AfterPickMerit

A following program merit guarantees a merit that is only higher then zero if another target KEY_COMPLETED has been completed. The zero-time returned is the pick-time of the last pick of the KEY_COMPLETED's observation.

Field Detail

KEY_COMPLETED

public static final String KEY_COMPLETED

The target that must be completed for this one to activate.

Constant Field Values

DEFFLAVOR

private static final double DEFFLAVOR

The default flavor is zero. It returns zero-merit prior to start.

Constant Field Values

private double t0

The starting point t0. Zero means undefined.

Constructor Detail

FollowingProgramMerit

public FollowingProgramMerit(Map prop)

Constructs a new successor merit. This merit returns zero until the requested number of observations has been conducted on the precursor target named after KEY_COMPLETED.

Method Detail

checkForStartTime

protected double checkForStartTime(Appointable ignore,
                                   Collection others,
                                   GlobalGrouping set)

Checks if we can deduce a start-time from the targets handed over. A follower program merit roams through the list of targets, finds the one with a matching name to KEY_COMPLETED and checks if it is completed. Only then, the pick time of the last pick is returned.
