Configuring the Executable

The next step is to tell Isight how to run the necessary executable file. You enter the name of the program, including the directory in which it resides, and the command line arguments that the program takes.

The syntax for running the aeroarg.exe at a command line is as follows (all on one line):

  • Windows: <Isight_install_directory>\<operating_system>\examples\getting_started\aeroarg.exe AeroIn.txt AeroOut.txt

  • Linux: <Isight_install_directory>/<operating_system>/examples/getting_started/LINUX/aeroarg AeroIn AeroOut

  1. Double-click the Simcode icon in the simulation process flow.

    The Simcode Component Editor appears. By default, the Basic subtab of the Command tab is selected. You can use the Command Line text box to enter the name of the program and the path to the program, along with name of the input and output files.

  2. Click Find Program.

    The Select Program dialog box appears.

  3. Navigate to the following directory:

    <Isight_install_directory>\<operating_system>\examples\getting_started\

    Note: If you are using Linux, navigate into the subdirectory that matches your operating system.

  4. Select the aeroarg.exe file, and click Open.

    Note: If you are using Linux, the name of the file is aeroarg.

    You are returned to the Simcode Component Editor, and the full path of the program is entered into the field.

  5. Complete the command line by entering the parameters that are passed to the aeroarg.exe (the names of the input and output text file).



  6. Click Apply to save your changes to the component.

    At this point, you have done all that is necessary to define the command line that runs the aeroarg.exe program.
