<a name="details" id="details"></a><h2 class="groupheader">Description</h2>
<p>Signals are used to trigger execution states between threads. The signal management functions in CMSIS-RTOS allow you to control or wait for signal flags. Each thread has up to 31 assigned signal flags. The maximum number of signal flags is defined in the <a class="el" href="cmsis__os_8h.html">cmsis_os.h</a> file (<b>#define osFeature_Signals</b>).</p>
<p>A thread</p>
<ul>
<li>can wait for signals to be set (using <a class="el" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___signal_mgmt.html#ga38860acda96df47da6923348d96fc4c9">osSignalWait</a>). Using this function, it enters the <a class="el" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___thread_mgmt.html#ThreadStates">WAITING</a> state. The <a class="el" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___signal_mgmt.html#ga38860acda96df47da6923348d96fc4c9">osSignalWait</a> parameter <em>signals</em> defines the signals that are required to put the thread back into <b>READY</b> state.</li>
<li>may set one or more flags in any other given thread (using <a class="el" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___signal_mgmt.html#ga3de2730654589d6c3559c4b9e2825553">osSignalSet</a>).</li>
<li>may clear its own signals or the signals of other threads (using <a class="el" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___signal_mgmt.html#ga87283a6ebc31ce9ed42baf3ea7e4eab6">osSignalClear</a>).</li>
</ul>
<p>When a thread wakes up and resumes execution, its signal flags are automatically cleared.</p>
<h2>Working with Signals</h2>
<p>Here is a simple example that shows how two thread can communicate with each others using signals:</p>
<div class="image">
<img src="simple_signal.png" alt="simple_signal.png"/>
<div class="caption">
Simple signal event communication</div></div>
<p> The following steps are required to use signals:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>In the thread (for example thread ID <code>tid_thread1</code>) that is supposed to wait for a signal, call the wait function: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___signal_mgmt.html#ga38860acda96df47da6923348d96fc4c9" title="Wait for one or more Signal Flags to become signaled for the current RUNNING thread.">osSignalWait</a> (0x0001, <a class="code" href="cmsis__os_8h.html#a9eb9a7a797a42e4b55eb171ecc609ddb" title="Timeout value.">osWaitForever</a>); <span class="comment">// wait forever for the signal 0x0001</span></div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>In another thread (or threads) that are supposed to wake the waiting thread up call: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___signal_mgmt.html#ga3de2730654589d6c3559c4b9e2825553" title="Set the specified Signal Flags of an active thread.">osSignalSet</a> (tid_thread1, 0x0001);    <span class="comment">// set the signal 0x0001 for thread tid_thread1</span></div>

<p>Suspend the execution of the current <b>RUNNING</b> thread until all specified signal flags with the parameter <em>signals</em> are set. When the parameter <em>signals</em> is 0 the current <b>RUNNING</b> thread is suspended until any signal is set. When these signal flags are already set, the function returns instantly. Otherwise the thread is put into the state <b>WAITING</b>. Signal flags that are reported as event are automatically cleared.</p>
<p>The argument <em>millisec</em> specifies how long the system waits for the specified signal flags. While the system waits the tread calling this function is put into the state <b>WAITING</b>. The timeout value can have the following values:</p>
<ul>
<li>when <em>millisec</em> is 0, the function returns instantly.</li>
<li>when <em>millisec</em> is set to <b>osWaitForever</b> the function will wait for an infinite time until a specified signal is set.</li>
