Tracked variable equals the sum of various processor labels

I have labels created at multiple processors on Simulation Start called "Repetitions". I want to make a tracked variable that is the sum of the Repetitions labels from 3 processors. How can I do that?

Hello @Sofia G21,

I set the labels on the processors to tracked variables so that then an event triggered source can tell when they change. Then the processors labels are summed and saved to a global variable.

test.pngHi Jeanette. Thanks for your response!

In trying to replicate your process flow, I notice my 'event triggered source' does not have a "On Label Value Change' option. Is there another approach?

You have to set your label to be a tracked variable for it to show up as an event for those objects. You can do this by right clicking on the field, selecting assign data, and selecting assign tracked variable data.
