Sets the desired constraint value.

getSamplingInterval

@Nonnull
public final Duration getSamplingInterval()

Gets the independent variable sampling increment. If Sampler (get / set) is null, this is the fixed step that is used to sample the entire interval. If Sampler (get / set) is non-null, this property is ignored.

getSampler

public final IJulianDateFunctionSampler getSampler()

Gets the sampler that controls the times at which the function is sampled while searching for satisfaction intervals. Consider using JulianDateFunctionSampling and JulianDateFunctionSampling.getFunctionSampler(). If this property is null, the function is sampled at fixed steps defined by the SamplingInterval (get / set) property.

Sets the sampler that controls the times at which the function is sampled while searching for satisfaction intervals. Consider using JulianDateFunctionSampling and JulianDateFunctionSampling.getFunctionSampler().
