Creating and managing timing diagrams
Timing diagrams are similar to sequence diagrams, but focus
on the timing of the elements in the model.
- UML timing diagrams
Communication diagrams, sequence diagrams and timing diagrams are different views of the interaction. Timing diagrams focus on the timing or duration of the message or conditions in change along a timeline in the diagram. - Creating timing diagrams
You can create a timing diagram to focus on a specific part of a sequence diagram, such as to further explore the timing of the interaction. - Adding elements to timing diagrams
You can add new or existing elements to a timing diagram by using the Palette. - Adding elements from sequence diagrams to timing diagrams
You can add elements that you created in a sequence diagram to a timing diagram. - Adding timing constraints to timing diagrams
Timing constraints are like a variable that can provide a range of time for an element to occur. A time observation provides a specific time at which an element occurs. - Adding duration constraints to timing diagrams
Duration constraints represent the minimum and maximum duration for which a defined part of the timing diagram can occur. A duration observation is similar to a variable and represents the duration for which a particular element can occur. - Reordering state invariants in timing diagrams
Like sequence diagrams, you can reorder state invariants in a timing diagram. - Changing the time ruler in timing diagrams
The timing ruler is a tool that shows units of time for the elements in a timing diagram and can show the time it takes for the elements to run. You can modify the timing ruler to adjust its size, increments, and units of time. - Validating timing diagrams
You can validate a timing diagram to correct any errors that exist in the diagram.
