- Method Detail
  - controlSignal
```
void controlSignal()
```
    Actuator is waiting for impulse to start simulation. After control signal it should change state for set duration of time.
  - getStateMachine
```
StateMachine getStateMachine()
```
    Returns instance of StateMachine
    
    Returns:
    
    instance of StateMachine
  - setStateMachine
```
void setStateMachine(StateMachine stateMachine)
```
    Sets StateMachine for Actuator
    
    Parameters:
    
    stateMachine - machine internally used by actuator
