The block \process{Distortion Control} is directly developed from the SDL-specification, that has been used for the MASCOT-model \cite{BjJa2000}. The specification is shown in Figure \ref{fig:SDL-Distortion Control}.

The \process{Distortion Control} is a single FSM, which is modeled by means of the skeleton \process{mealySY}. The global state is not only expressed by the explicit states - \constant{Passed}, \constant{Failed} and \constant{Locked} -, but also by means of the variable \variable{cnt}. The state machine has two possible input values, \constant{Pass} and \constant{Fail}, and three output values, \constant{Lock}, \constant{Release} and \constant{CutBass}. 

The \process{mealySY} creates a process that can be interpreted as a Mealy-machine. It takes two functions, \function{nxtSt} to calculate the next state and \function{out} to calculate the output. The state is represented by a pair of the explicit state and the variable \variable{cnt}. The initial state is the same as in the SDL-model, given by the tuple \constant{(Passed, 0)}. The \function{nxtSt} function uses pattern matching. Whenever an input value matches a pattern of the \function{nxtSt} function the corresponding right hand side is evaluated, giving the next state. An event with an absent value leaves the state unchanged. The output function is modeled in a similar way. The output is absent, when no output message is indicated in the SDL-model.
