I want to track the vertical movement times of an ASRS object but only when the horizontal movement has stopped. Is there a way to track this?
Track vertical movement times of ASRS?

The movement is the result of two kinematics node in the variables tree of the ASRS vehicle.
- kinematics: travel in x direction
- forkkinematics: travel of the extender and lift. y- and z- direction.
The command getkinematics(..) returns the values of the kinematic definitions as double values for time or distance. You have to compute the time interval when the x-travel ends to the end of lifting the fork. Therefore you must identify the right index in the fork kinematic node where the lift motion is set and evaluate the arrival time. And you compare this time with the arrival time of the kinematics node of the vehicle. If the lift arrival time ends later than a travel time of the vehicle you store this difference as a tracked variable value. Then you can evaluate this tracked variable in your dashboard as a chart.
