Method Detail

delay

public long delay()
This method is called after a sampling process is done to know how much time the sampling thread has to wait until sampling again.

set

public void set()
This method is called right before thread execution and must set the timer for proper funtioning. GUI enabled timers should collect values from their GUI fields with this method instead of using private action listeners.

toString

This method should return a small sentence identifying this timer action. It is used by Combo boxes to both display information to the user and identifying this timer.
Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
