Abstract

A method for executing a task schedule on a DPF is disclosed. The method includes loading a task configuration file comprising at least one task capable of being executed at any given time, reading a current time from a clock within the DPF, checking if there is the task waiting to be executed, executing the task if there exists the task waiting to be run, and repeating the reading a current time step, after a wait time, if no tasks have been scheduled for current execution.

Claims

repeating the reading a current time step, after a wait time, if no tasks have been scheduled for current execution.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the wait time is one minute.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising setting task parameters for additional tasks to be executed on the DPF.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein two tasks to be carried out at the same time are not allowed to be scheduled.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising modifying task parameters for a task on the DPF.
