Signal Control / Detector Record
To add a new column to the current Layout of columns table, a new entry has
to be defined as follows:
► Left-click the selected value type in the Type (Category) list.
► Specific data (e.g. SG No.) have to be selected from the neighbouring
list, if applicable.
► Add this combination to the current Layout of columns on top of the
currently marked entry via
- clicking the button or
- clicking one of the selected Type (Category) entries twice.
To remove an entry from the current Layout of columns table:
Select line and
► press DEL or
► right-click (calls the context menu) and press DELETE then, or
► left-click the button.
The configuration file (*.KFG) contains the currently specified Layout of
columns. When the Signal control window is closed via OK, the layout file is
saved automatically (with the specified file name) to the folder, where the
currently used VISSIM network file (*.INP) is stored. It can then be reused for
other signal controls or different projects.
To create a new configuration file, a new file name has to be entered for
configuration file. The VISSIM network file (*.INP) always refers to the
recently saved configuration file which is automatically opened by default if
both, the *.INP file and the *.KFG file are stored in the same folder.
To use an existing configuration file, press and select an existing file.
When prompted, choose YES, in order for the configuration file to be read.
Caution: The previous configuration will be overwritten with the new layout
configuration.
If option SC/Det. record is checked via EVALUATION - FILES…, the signal/detector
protocol file is saved to the specified file.
Results
The SC/Detector Record may be viewed in a window during a simulation/test
run and/or written to an output file (*.LDP) (cf. sections 10.1.1 and 10.1.2
respectively).
The data types that can be logged in the SC/Detector record depend on the
signal controller used and can be found in its user manual.
The SC/Detector record has a tabular layout with a row for each simulation
second and a column for each traced parameter or variable.
The SC/Detector Record can display up to 1000 parameters with a maximum
of 3000 characters per row.
