Typically used # to implement autostart or shutdown but can run any checklist sequence at any # time. Checklist execution runs each binding where the condition is not yet # satisfied and waits until the condition becomes true before moving on. If # the condition does not become true within a timeout period, the checklist # execution fails. # # Can also run in no wait mode where items are run in order without waiting # for the previous condition to become true. Checklists never timeout or fail # in no wait mode but some conditions may remain false. # # Typical usage: # # 1. Add this script to -set.xml: # # # ... other scripts here # # Aircraft/Generic/autochecklist.nas # # # # 2. In the -set.xml, define a list of checklist indexes to run # as a named sequence. # # For example, to run checklists with indexes 0 and 1 for startup and # checklist 9 for shutdown: # # # # # ... more checklists here # # # 0 # 1 # # # 9 # # # # If you are using -tags in your checklist definition, you need # to add one per sequence. # # 3. Define a menu item that calls the complete_checklists function with # the name of the checklist sequence you would like to run. # # For example: # # # # # nasal # # # # # For a no wait checklist execution (which will never fail), pass zero (0) # as the second argument: # # autochecklist.complete_checklists(sequence:"startup", wait:0); # # 4. Optionally, configure automated execution using the following properties. # See comments within the autochecklist_init function for a description. # # # ... # # Checklists complete # Running checklists, please wait ... # Some checks failed. # 10 # 3 # # # # Note that messages are not displayed for no wait execution. # ################################################################################ var checklists = nil; var auto = nil; var active = nil; var expedited = nil; var timeout_sec = nil; var timeout_start = nil; var wait_sec = nil; var completed_message = nil; var startup_message = nil; var timeout_message = nil; var autochecklist_init = func() { # Root property tree path for checklists # checklists = props.globals.getNode("sim/checklists"); # Root property tree path for auto checklists # auto = checklists.initNode("auto"); # Flag to indicate that checklists are being completed automatically. # This can be used in Nasal bindings in the checklists to suppress a # binding when automated execution is in progress, e.g. for checklist # items that display dialogs. # active = auto.initNode("active", 0, "BOOL"); # Flag to indicate that checklist execution is expedited, i.e. there # is no wait time between items.
