Mtng_P_S

A component object that implements a network of dummy nodes where the functionality of the network is defined by a Network Model Interface (NMI) object. It is expected that the number of nodes is explicitly defined by the NMI object.

Configuration
    nmi/...        passed to the NMI object


Commands
    nmi/...        passed to the NMI object
    build
        build the Nmi component

    parse
        pass the input streams as a configuration stream to the
          Nmi component.


The following details the NMI object.

The base NMI object

A Network Model Interface Component.


Configuration
    always-output=<bool>
                   always send output state (false)
    input-alias=<tag or old alias>:<new alias>
                   sets new alias for input tag
    output-alias=<tag or old alias>:<new alias>
                   sets new alias for output tag

The derived NMI object

An NMI component that calls the matlab engine to run some matlab
code. The command to start the matlab engine is defined using
<start>. The matlab code must conform to the requirements as
laid out in the libmtng documentation, whereby the code is packaged
up within a number of predefined functions and modules whose
names have an 'nmi' prefix. The code to be run is located using
the matlab path, as defined by the matlab installation and the
user's matlab profile. This path may be modified by being prepended
with <path>. Additional code to be run during construction (when
the engine starts) and during reset can be specified using <construct>
and <reset>. Configuring <start> or <path> causes the engine
to be re-started. Configuring <construct> does not cause the
engine to be re-started, but does cause <construct> to be immediately
applied.


Configuration
    start=<string>        starting matlab (matlab -nodesktop -nosplash)
    path=<string>         path to add to the matlab engine (none)
    construct=<string>    additional construct command (none)
    reset=<string>        additional reset command (none)


Commands
    start-engine [command=<string>]
        start the matlab engine
            command=<string> command to start engine 

    stop-engine
        stop the matlab engine

    run-code code=<string>
        run some matlab
            code=<string> the code to run 


The Current Matlab Code

A description of the current matlab code for a specific object
can be found in the relevant nmiClassDesc.m matlab file. This
file can be run using the run-code command.
