Introduction of the Supported Table Patterns
Various table patterns are provided and supported in Table Specification that help shortening the cells content so that the tables will not be cumbersome.
Only Advanced Table Specification can contain these table, while Simplified Table Specification include a default State Transition Table.
The structure of state transition table is as follows:
| Source State |
Input Column Group |
PreVariable Column Group |
Output Column Group |
PostVariable Column Group |
Target State |

An example of state transition table:
The structure of mode transition table is as follows:
| Source Mode |
Input Column Group |
Target Mode |

An example of double conditions function table:
There are two basic table patterns: transition tables and function table.
Additionally, three kinds of function tables afford different table structure when we use functions to describe a system's functionalities for software systems.
The structure of double condition function table is as follows:
|
Horizontal Conditions |
| Vertical Conditions |
Rule Definitions (Actions on OutPorts/Data Variables) |
An example of double conditions function table:
The structure of vertical condition function table is as follows:
|
OutPorts / Data Variables |
| Vertical Conditions |
Rule Definitions |
An example of vertical conditions function table:
The structure of horizontal condition function table is as follows:
|
Horizontal Conditions |
| OutPorts / Data Variables |
Rule Definitions |
An example of horizontal conditions function table is as follows:
