The standard cycle times obtained are given in the figure. For a more detailed description of the
configuration of cycle times, see the manual AMPL Configuration.
The allocation of priorities to the interpreters means that the execution of PC elements with
cycle times associated with interpreter C can be interrupted for the execution of PC elements
with cycle times associated with the interpreters A and B. The execution of PC elements with
cycle times associated with interpreter B can, however, only be interrupted by the execution of
PC elements with cycle times associated with interpreter A. The execution of PC elements
which are associated with interpreter A cannot be interrupted by the execution of other PC
elements.
