Default No Setup

Hi,
I attached a modell where the Operator should perform a setup on the processor. Obviosly ther is no Operator, so the processor should stop an go to the state 'waiting for Operator' but it does not. It´s the same when you have some operators connected to a processor. When there is no OP available, the setup won´t be done. In this case it´s just harder to recognize that there is a malfunction.

Default

If you open the system console you will see the message:

"Error: invalid reference to operator from MAIN:/1/3/3"

when the processor tries to identify the dispatcher from the processdispatcher trigger.

If you connect the processor to a dispatcher (which has no operators attached), the processor will wait indefinitely in the correct state.

Hi Jason,
thank you. I found another mistake I made (0 setup time returned by a function), but your answer helped me to be shure it I had to look at my side. Thanks.
