MATLAB: Temporal logic in condition

Question

Hello,

I have some temporal conditions in system logic, for example:

if (a>10 for 10 sec)
  then doSomething
else
  returnToParentState

I implemented this using additional "detected" states, but this solution looks weird and unclear. (See picture below).

May be there is another way to do this?

Try with a junction. You need that junction because a trigger can only be stated before the condition in one transition.
