Tutorial - Deadlines and Plan B
===============================

.. _tutorial-deadlines:

WIP

Deadlines are an essential component of real-time systems. Despite our best
efforts, our real-time requirements may not be met. In that scenario, it may be
critical that the failure is recognized and responded to. Deadlines help enforce
this setting a timeout on the synchronization barrier (firing rule) of an SQ and
executing an alternative operation, a *Plan B* when said timeout is passed
without successful synchronization. This tutorial will show you how to write a
TTPython program with this mechanism, and how you should expect it to behave.

** This is still WIP on syntax and semantics **
