IsResultComputed(X)
Returns True (1) when the result value for variable X has already been computed and is currently cached in memory, False (0) otherwise.
When evaluated from Mid-Mode, it returns true when the Mid-value of X is already computed. When evaluated from Sample-Mode, it returns true when the Sample-value of X is already computed. Hence, the following two forms test specifically for Mid or Sample:
Sample( IsResultComputed(X) ) Mid( IsResultComputed(X) )
Notes
Generally if you attempt to read the value of the midValue or probValue attributes, using e.g., midValue of X, it will trigger the computation of X if the value is not already computed. This function is required to circumvent this problem.
ADE
From ADE, this function is also the method for testing whether a value is already computed and cached. You can do this either from typescript, e.g.:
ade.SendCommand("IsResultComputed(Va1)")
or you can use the CAObject::Evaluate method, e.g.:
CAObject va1 = ade.Get("Va1"); if (va1.Evaluate("IsResultComputed('Va1')").AtomicValue()) { ... }
