RateGroupDriver Component
1. Introduction
Svc::PassiveRateGroup is an passive component that drives a set of components connected to Svc::Sched output ports. It contains an synchronous input Svc::Cycle port that drives all the operations. The component invokes each output port in order, passing an argument specified in the supplied context list. It tracks execution time of the cycle.
2. Requirements
The requirements for Svc::PassiveRateGroup are as follows:
| Requirement | Description | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|
| FPRIME-PRG-001 | The Svc::PassiveRateGroup component shall be passive and will be driven by an input synchronous port call |
Inspection, Unit test |
| FPRIME-PRG-002 | The Svc::PassiveRateGroup component shall invoke its output ports in order, passing the value contained in a table based on port number |
Unit Test |
| FPRIME-PRG-003 | The Svc::PassiveRateGroup component shall track the time required to execute the rate group and report it as telemetry |
Unit Test |
3. Design
3.1 Context
3.1.1 Component Diagram
The Svc::PassiveRateGroup component has the following component diagram:

3.1.2 Ports
The Svc::PassiveRateGroup component uses the following port types:
| Port Data Type | Name | Direction | Kind | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Svc::Cycle | CycleIn | Input | synchronous | Receive a call to run one cycle of the rate group |
Svc::Sched |
RateGroupMemberOut | Output | n/a | Rate group ports |
3.2 Functional Description
The Svc::PassiveRateGroup component has one input port that is used to drive all of the processing. The component calls the output ports in order, passing the context from the context list as the port argument.
3.3 Scenarios
3.3.1 Rate Group Port Call
As described in the Functional Description section, the Svc::PassiveRateGroup component accepts calls to the CycleIn and invokes the RateGroupMemberOut ports:
