Setting Simcode Component Preferences

The Simcode component can use the Fast Parser, iSIGHT File Parser, or the Data Exchanger to read and write files.

  1. From the Isight Design Gateway Edit menu, select Preferences.

    The Preferences dialog box appears.

  2. Expand the Components folder on the left side of the dialog box, and select Simcode.

  3. In the Default Parser type list, select the parser you want to use automatically when you are creating a new Simcode component.

    You can choose Fast Parser, iSIGHT File Parser, or Data Exchanger. Data Exchanger is the recommended file parsing tool and is selected by default. The iSIGHT File Parser and Fast Parser are used as an aid in converting an iSIGHT description file into an Isight model.

  4. If you selected Data Exchanger as the Default Parser, the Show Quick Data Source Configuration Dialog check box appears.

    You can use the Show Quick Data Source Configuration Dialog to quickly configure a template file data source without having to use the Exchanger Wizard. If you choose Data Exchanger, Isight reads the specified template file on every run. The local file name will be the same as the template file, without the full path, and stored in the Isight runtime working directory. The generated file will not be saved to an output file parameter.

  5. Click OK to save your changes and to close the Preferences dialog box.
