1. Description

Functionality:

Join "append-able" fields from several IDSes of one type to single (output) IDS

E.g. :

input array - 3 IDSes (waves) A,B,C - having coherent_wave of size: X (A1, A2, ..., Ax), Y (B1, B2, ..., By) and Z (C1, C2, ..., Cz)
output - single IDS (wave) with coherent_wave of size X+Y+Z
Output coherent_wave elements put in order of ports ( (A1, A2, ..., Ax, B1, B2, ..., By, C1, C2, ..., Cz)

Assumptions :

homogeneous and heterogenous IDSes can be appended
only IDSes of the same type can be appended
only specific fields (defined in DD) can be appended
given instance of actor can append only IDSes of one type
to get inputs - getSlice method will be used
to put output - putSlice will be used
if all IDSes are homogeneous - actor will produce homogeneous IDS
if any of input IDSes will be heterogeneous - actor will produce heterogeneous IDS

Ports

1.1. Inputs

IDSTime actor has two input ports.

port name purpose Icon

idsArray

An array (i.e. Kepler record) of IDSes. Multiport.

All IDSes provided must be of the same type.

idsTime Time, defining slices to be appended.

port name purpose

ids

Single IDS with all "append-able" fields being a sum of fields from all input iDSes.

Output port is coupled with input multiport (in: array of IDSes of type A --> out: single IDS of type A )
