Simulation Details Dialog Box

Requires: Simulation Interface Toolkit

Click the Simulation Details front panel button of the host VI to access this dialog box. You can access this dialog box only while the host VI is running.

Use this dialog box to view the details of the simulation and to set global simulation options.

This dialog box includes the following components:

• Status—Use this page to view the status of the simulation.
  • Model Name—Displays the name of the model.
  • Model Path—Displays the path to the model.
  • Target IP Address—Displays the IP address of the execution host.
  • Simulation Time—Displays the current time of the simulation.
  • Messages—Displays any messages relevant to the current simulation, including error messages. For example, the Messages indicator updates when you successfully change the value of a parameter.
  • Maximum Number of Messages to Display—Specifies the maximum number of messages that the Messages indicator displays.
• Client Settings—Use this page to configure global simulation settings.
  • Signal Probing—Use this section to access parameters that specify how the LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit probes model signals.
    • Halt Simulation on Data Loss—Specifies that the simulation stops on data loss.
    • Signal Decimation—Specifies the decimation factor to apply to incoming signal data. For example, if you enter a value of 10 in this field, the Simulation Interface Toolkit probes every 10^th data point instead of every data point. The default is 1, which specifies no signal decimation. Increasing the signal decimation can resolve performance issues and timing errors when running a simulation on a real-time (RT) target.
• Data Logging—Use this page to select and play data logging configurations.
  • Active Configuration—Use this tab to select a data logging configuration and start, pause, or stop it.
  • Configuration Overview—Use this tab to select a configuration.
    • Configuration Name—Specifies the name of this data logging configuration.
    • Configuration Description—Specifies the description of this data logging configuration.
• File Playback—Use this page to select a file playback configuration to rewind, play, pause, or stop.
  • Active Configuration—Use this tab to select a file playback configuration to rewind, play, pause, or stop.
  • Configuration Overview—Use this tab to select a file playback configuration to rewind, play, pause, or stop.
• Real-Time Information—Use this page to view information about an RT simulation.
  • Hardware Mappings—Displays any hardware mappings you configure in the Configure HW I/O Mappings dialog box.
  • Tasks—Displays the list of tasks that the model contains. Single-rate models have one task, whereas multirate models have multiple tasks. Select a task from this list to view the Period, Priority, and Offset of that task.
  • Period—Displays the sample period of the selected task. The sample period defines the deadline, or the time limit in which one step of that task must finish operating.
  • Priority—Displays the priority of the selected task relative to other tasks in the model. The Simulation Interface Toolkit uses rate-monotonic scheduling, which prioritizes tasks with shorter periods over tasks with longer periods.
  • Offset—Displays the offset for the execution of the selected task, in seconds. The offset delays the execution of the selected task by the specified time period.
