Dynamic MTBF/MTTR

I would like to run batches of different products through a production line. Each product correlates with a different MTBF/MTTR of the line. I could think of a way of implementing it through labels and tables. However, I realize that I need to understand more about what would actually happen under the hood. Is the up time timer reset when I change the MTBF mid-run or at which time is the next failure time sampled?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.4

You can easily check this by looking at the events on the event list or by placing breakpoints in the time functions code.

First failure is sampled on reset.
Down time is sampled at the down event start
Up time is sampled at the down event end.

Any changes you make between these events will only come into play the next time it is sampled.
