Testing and Simulation with COM 265

10.1.7 Text Representation

Text format is an alternative to control system flowchart format. The same simulator functions as in
control system flowchart format are possible in text format; only the representation of the control
system flowchart elements differs.
When the simulator is started, it is set for CSF format. A switch to text format can be initiated as
follows:
CSF format (default)
Simulator
&
I 0.0
I 0.1 Q 0.5
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8
In text format, all IP 265 inputs, IP 265 outputs and all parameters, with signal state or value, are
automatically displayed in table form. You can also select relevant language elements in the control
system flowchart. In text format, the simulator then displays these language elements, together with
the function values.
Advantages of text format
Actual values and signal states of operands and language elements which are scattered over several
segments in a control system flowchart are displayed in clear, concise form on a single screen page.
On the following pages, you will learn how to incorporate objects from a control system flowchart
(COM 265 language elements) in text format.
