Simulation file syntax

How it works

When a simulation file has been created and enabled, its values will be used in IGSS Supervise. IGSS reads the simulation file cyclically from start to end. Each data line will be read and used with the interval specified by the delay value described below.

General syntax rules

The following general syntax rules must be observed.

The file name must be <config. name>.sim and the file must be located in the configuration root folder.
Separators between elements in each data line must be either spaces or tabs.
Object names must be written with the right case, because names in IGSS are case-sensitive.
The sequence of the elements is mandatory.

Simulation file syntax

The following example shows a data line for an analog object from a simulation file. The example contains the max. number of elements in a data line. Note that the second element, + 2.5, is unique for analog objects. All elements are required in each line, except for the optional increment value and comments.

Delay (sec)	Increment value	Object name	Type-specific value	Type-specific value	Comments
2	+ 2.5	L1	2	10	;Comments
