Set up a break on a processor when pulling a different itemtype

Hi all,

I have a processor that follows a MTBF/MTTR tables and has items of different types in input.

I would like my Processor to do a break for a fixed time (10min for example, in addition of following the MTBF MTTR tables) each time an item that enters in the Processor has a different type than the previous item.

Thanks in advance,

Best,

Thibaut

@Thibaut The processor has the setup time trigger specially for this problem. This trigger has an option called: "If item type changes"

Would you know @steven.hamoen how to make the processor stop following the MTBF MTTR while it is in setup mode ?

@Thibaut Just use the apply MTBF to a set of states and add the setup state to the list of states. See this screenshot:
