Simulator 16 User Guide - PowerWorld

Use Absolute Values for MW Interface Flows
If checked, this option will cause all MW flow text fields for interfaces to be displayed as the absolute
value of the flow. Otherwise, the MW flow text fields will be positive near the source end of the
interface and negative near the sink end of the interface. The value of this option is stored in the
system registry, and will be used by bus view and substation view diagrams when a oneline diagram
with saved oneline options is not available.
Enable Mouse Wheel Zooming
When this box is checked, zooming can be done with a mouse wheel. The default is off.
This option applies to all onelines instead of just the presently selected oneline.
Show Oneline Hints
When this box is checked, hovering the cursor over an object will briefly display information about
the object in a popup hint.
This option applies to all onelines instead of just the presently selected oneline.
Visualizing Out-of-Service Elements
Out-of-service elements can have optional visualization settings that makes them "stand out" in
relation to in-service devices on the oneline diagram. The options for out-of-service devices includes
Use Dashed Lines, Draw and X Through Off-Line Generators, and Blink. Additional controls
for the Blink option are available, for setting the blink interval and color. Any combination of these
options can be used for out-of-service elements, although the X option only applies to out-of-service
generators.
Browsing Path for Oneline Diagrams
This option applies when you have Oneline Links included on a oneline diagram. Rather than specify
the full path and name of a oneline diagram as a oneline link, you can specify the file name only.
When the link is clicked in Run Mode, Simulator will check all directories listed here, in order, to try
and find the oneline file name stored with the link.
