Signals Monitoring Window

The Signals Monitoring window appears along with the Simulation Player toolbar.

The Simulation tab displays the type, status and value progression of the simulation.

The Watchlist tab(s) lets you organize the simulation analyze.

A Plot window is available from the contextual menu of the Simulation tab.



Simulation Tab

The Simulation tab displays the following columns:

Name
Displays the direction, the structure and the name of the port/signal.
Type
Displays the type of the signals.
Status
Displays the status of an input or output:
  • Emitted
  • Not emitted
Value
Displays the value of an input or output.
Force Status
Click the field to force the emission of the signal.
Force Value
Enter a value in this field to force the value.

Watch List Tabs

From the Simulation tab, the contextual menu allows you to isolate, in an existing tab or in a new tab, the simulation for one or several variables.

You can create as many watch lists as necessary.

From the Simulation tab,

  • Right-click an input or an output to display its contextual menu.
  • Select Insert in a new watch list.

    Open the watch list to check your modification.

Plot Window

From the Simulation tab, the contextual menu allows you to display in a Plot window a 2D graphical view of the virtual execution

From the Simulation tab:


  • Right-click an input or an output to display its contextual menu.
  • Select Plot a signal or a port.

    The Plot window is displayed.

Warning: From the System Experiment workbench, graphical settings (curve color, chart setup, axis range...) are not available.
Important: You can display only one Plot window at a time. If you select several variables, they are plotted in the same Plot window.

Simulation Player Toolbar

Depending on the workbench, the Simulation Player can be slightly different.

For example:

  • In VPM Functional and Logical Editor

  • in Dynamic Behavior Modeling

  • In System Experiment
