Description

The Task Frame is used to configure a model for execution in a multi-tasking environment. To use a Task Frame, you must first configure a set of tasks on the Scheduling tab of the Coder Options dialog (see Scheduling). Once you have done this, you can double click on the label to open the parameter dialog and choose the desired task from the list.

The execution of all components inside the frame will be scheduled in the selected task. Multiple Task Frames can reference the same task; in this case all components inside these frames will be scheduled in the same task.

If the frame contains a Subsystem, the task will also be assigned to the components in the sub-schematic; however, you can override this mechanism by placing Task Frames in the sub-schematic.

To move a Task Frame, press the left mouse button on the label or on an edge and drag the frame to the desired location. To change the size of a Task Frame, select it, then drag one of the selection handles.
