Parameters¶

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	“contains {currentCredit} cr, rate {currentCreditGainRate} crps\nserved %p pk (%l)”	Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information

idleCreditGainRate	double	dropUnit(idleSlope)	Rate of credit increase while the packets that passed through this gate don’t use the physical channel
transmitCreditSpendRate	double	-dropUnit(sendSlope)	Rate of credit decrease while the packets that passed through this gate use the physical channel
initialCredit	double	0	Initial number of credits
transmitCreditLimit	double	0	Credit limit above which the gate is open
minCredit	double	-inf	Minimum number of credits
maxCredit	double	dropUnit(maxInterferenceSize) * dropUnit(idleSlope / bitrate)	Maximum number of credits
accumulateCreditInGuardBand	bool	false	Whether credit increases during implicit guard band when no packets can be sent anymore
idleSlope	double		Data rate of the accumulated credits when the transmission channel is idle
sendSlope	double	idleSlope - bitrate	Data rate of the spent credits when the transmission channel is in use
maxInterferenceSize	double	inf b
