Set microservice timeout value

Since R2026b

Syntax

setTimeout(microservice,timeout)

Description

setTimeout(microservice,timeout) sets the timeout value of the microservice object. The timeout controls how long the microservice waits for a response before retrying an operation.

Examples

Specify Timeout and Retry Values of Mission Microservice

Create a mavlinkdialect object using the common.xml file.

dialect = mavlinkdialect("common.xml");

Create a local MAVLink client by using the mavlinkio object.

gcs = mavlinkio(dialect);

Create a mission microservice object.

mission = mavlinkmicroservice(gcs,"mission");

Set the timeout value of the mission microservice object to 5 seconds.

setTimeout(mission,5)

Set the retry count of the mission microservice object to 7.

setRetry(mission,7)

Input Arguments

microservice — Microservice object

parameterMicroservice object | commandMicroservice object | missionMicroservice object | ftpMicroservice object

Microservice object, specified as one of these microservice objects:

• parameterMicroservice

• commandMicroservice

• missionMicroservice

• ftpMicroservice

timeout — Timeout value of microservice object

positive scalar

Timeout value of the microservice object, specified as a positive scalar in seconds. When the microservice sends a message that requires an acknowledgment, it starts a countdown timer. If the expected response arrives before the timer expires, the microservice clears the timer and the operation succeeds. If the timer reaches zero without a response, the microservice assumes the network lost the original request or the response in transit. The microservice then retries the operation. A larger timeout gives the remote client more time to respond.
