Skip First Samples

The skip_first hook discards the first samples of a simulation case. It can either drop the first n samples or drop the first n seconds of a case.

Implementation

The source code of the hook is available here: https://github.com/VILLASframework/node/blob/master/lib/hooks/skip_first.cpp

Configuration

samples	integer The number of samples which should be dropped by this hook after a start or restart of the node/path.
seconds	number The number of seconds for which this hook should initially drop samples after a start or restart of the node/path.
enabled	boolean Default: true An optional field which can be used to disable a hook.
priority	integer Default: 99 The priority of this hook which determines the order in which hooks are executed. Hooks with a lwoer priority are executed before ones with a higher priority. If no priority is configured, hooks are executed in the order they are configured in the configuration file.

{

• "samples": 0,
• "seconds": 0,
• "enabled": true,
• "priority": 99

}

Example

node/etc/examples/hooks/average.conf

@include "hook-nodes.conf"

paths = (
    {
        in = "signal_node"
        out = "file_node"

        hooks = (
            {
                type = "average"

                signals = [ "sine", "square" ]
                offset = 0
            }
        )
    }
)
