Generate random events

events

class timeflux.nodes.events.Events(rows_min=1, rows_max=10, string_min=3, string_max=12, items_min=0, items_max=5, seed=None)[source]

Bases: timeflux.core.node.Node

Helper class that provides a standard way to create an ABC using inheritance.

Return random integers from value_min to value_max (inclusive)

random_string(length)[source]

update()[source]: Update the input and output ports.

class timeflux.nodes.events.Periodic(label='clock', data=None, interval=None, phase=None)[source]

Bases: timeflux.core.node.Node

Node that sends events at a regular interval.

This node sends regular events after the first time the update method is called. If the update method is called at time t, and this node has a interval ti and phase ts, then the first event will be at t + ts. Then there will be one event at t + ts + k ti where k is 1, 2, …

Parameters:

label (str) – Event name that will be generated by this node.
data (dict) – Dictionary sent in each event.
interval (dict) – Dictionary with keyword arguments passed to datetime.timedelta to define the time interval between events. This can be seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, etc.
phase (dict) – Dictionary with keyword arguments passed to datetime.timedelta to define a phase for the stimulations. The first stimulation will happen after this time delta is observed. If not set, the phase will be as the interval.

Variables:

o (Port) – Default output, provides a pandas.DataFrame with events.

Examples

The following YAML can be used to generate events every half second but only after 5 seconds have elapsed

graphs:
   - nodes:
     - id: clock
       module: timeflux.nodes.events
       class: Periodic
       params:
         label: my-event-label
         interval:
           milliseconds: 500
         phase:
           seconds: 5

     - id: display
       module: timeflux.nodes.debug
       class: Display

     rate: 20

     edges:
       - source: clock
         target: display

Instantiate the node.

update()[source]: Update the input and output ports.
