Decimating Simulation Data (Simulation Interface Toolkit)

Sometimes, the SIT Server cannot process all the data that the execution host returns at once. This situation results in data loss. To reduce the possibility of data loss, you can decimate the data that the execution host returns so the host VI indicators can display the data in real time. Complete the following steps to decimate simulation data.

1. Click the Simulation Details front panel button of the host VI to launch the Simulation Details dialog box. You can click this button only while the host VI is running.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Enter an integer value n in the Signal Decimation text box.
4. Click the Apply button. The SIT Server now returns every n ^th signal update to the host VI.
   
   To probe the model continuously again, enter 1 in the Signal Decimation text box and click the Apply button.
