<%EXTOGGLE%>Command Group: Active Simulation

 

Command: Edit
Edit the simulation parameters associated with the active simulation.

Command: Duplicate
Combination of Copy & Paste & Edit.

 

 

Command: Run
Runs a simulation using the default fixed-grid simulator.

Command: Adaptive Grid Simulator
Runs a simulation using the adaptive-grid simulator.
 

 

Command: Pause
Pauses or continues the currently running active simulation.

 

Command: Compare              
Copies the active simulation and the currently selected active experiment to the Tabbed Window: Compare Curves to show a direct comparison of the associated current curves.
 

Command: Break
Breaks  the currently running active simulation.

 

Command: Circles
The active current curve is plotted in the form of open circles.

Command: Filled Circles
The active current curve is plotted in the form of filled circles.

Command: Min/Max Info
Shows the E-I-couple referring to the minimum/maximum found in a rectangle of the screen display drawn by mouse.

Command: Next Scan Segment
Activates the next scan segment If the active simulation consists of more than one.

<%EXTOGGLE%>Command Group: Data Exchange

 

Clipboard Command: Copy
Copies the active simulation and puts the copy on the clipboard.

Clipboard Command: Cut
Cuts the active simulation and puts it on the clipboard.

Clipboard Command: Paste
Pastes clipboard content into the Tabbed Window: Simulations.

 

Command: RAM-Disk               RAM_Disk
Opens a dialog box showing the actual content of the RAM-Disk. The RAM-Disk stores data in use-file format and can be used, for instance, to export  CVs simulated in the Tabbed Window: Simulations to the Tabbed Window: Experiments window. In this way experimental curves can be mimicked by simulated ones, for instance, in order to investigate how  systematic errors such as noise are passed to individual parameter values when using these files in a fitting project.

 

RAM-Disk Command: ExportExportRAM
Exports the active simulation to the RAM-Disk

RAM-Disk Command: Add all Simulation to RAM-Disk
Exports all simulations shown in the Tabbed Window: Simulations in use-format and stores the use-files in the RAM-Disk.

 

File Command: Export
Exports the active simulation as use- or txt-file.

File Command: Export all Simulations
Exports all simulations  shown in the Tabbed Window: Simulations as use- or txt-files.

tipbulbNote that the export of data in use-format is only available when selecting the Option: Plot AC+DC. The export of the remaining current components can be done only as txt-file by selecting the desired plotting option before exporting the data.

 

<%EXTOGGLE%>Command Group: Display

Command: Next
The next current curve is activated.

Command: Previous
The previous current curve is activated.

 

 

Command: Delete Active Simulation
Deletes the active simulation.

Command: Delete All Simulation
Deletes all simulations shown in the Tabbed Window: Simulations.

 

 

Command: Zoom
Zooms the screen display by pressing down the left mouse button and draw a rectangle around the region which is to be zoomed. The zoom command can be repeatedly applied.

Command: Unzoom
Undo the zoom command.

Command: Refresh Screen
Removes Min/Max-Info and redraws the screen display.

Command: Rearrange Display Order   DisplayOrder
Arranges the current curves according to the size of the peak current so that the curve with smallest peak current comes to the fore.

 

<%EXTOGGLE%>Command Group: Fourier Transformation

Command: Filter Setting   FilterSettings
Opens a dialog box that enables the user to customize the Fourier-Transform-Filter which is applied to the simulated current response according to the selected plot option (see below).
 

Option: Plot AC + DC       FTPlotOptions
The unfiltered total total current is plotted.

Option: Plot DC
Only the DC-component of the current (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot AC
Only the AC-component of the current (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 1. Harmonic
Only the Fundamental Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 2. Harmonic
Only the Second Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 3. Harmonic
Only the Third Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 4. Harmonic
Only the Fourth Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: User Defined
The Harmonic current component  defined by the user (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 1. Harmonic Envelope
Only the Envelope of the Fundamental Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 2. Harmonic Envelope
Only the Envelope of the Second Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 3. Harmonic Envelope
Only the Envelope of the Third Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot 4. Harmonic Envelope
Only the Envelope of the Fourth Harmonic current component (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Option: Plot User Defined Envelope
Only the Envelope of the Harmonic current component defined by the user (numerically filtered by Fourier transformation) is plotted.

Check Box: Apply to all Simulations
Controls whether the selected plot option is applied to all simulations or only to the active one.
 

tipbulbNote that the export of data in use-format is only available when selecting the Option: Plot AC+DC. The export of the remaining current components can be done only as txt-file by selecting the desired plotting option before exporting the data.

The usage and functionality of the Ribbon Bar Commands is similar as shown in the video clip referring to a CV-Simulation Document. Some commands peculiar to FT-CV simulations are demonstrated in the following video clip:
