In general, the Simulation tool stores in an SCL playback file only information which affects the behavior of the simulated system, such as Simulation parameters, changes of specification elements, and Go commands. It does not record parameters which affect the various report facilities, information concerning only the viewing of changes and changes of internal variables of the running SCPs.
The detail is described below:
●
The current system status is saved (as a starting point of the recorded session fragment) and a corresponding
restore_status
statement is put into the SCL playback file.
●
The current setting of Simulation parameters is recorded. This includes for example, Set Infinite Loop and Set Go Back.
●
Each external change of a specification element is recorded as appropriate action on the element. These changes may come from a Do Action, from a panel or monitor or from the SCP.
●
Each entered
Go
command is recorded by its full name.
●
Each change of the simulation parameters.
The playback files are treated like SCP files and can be manipulated as such.
1. Select Options > Execution Parameters from the Simulation Profile Editor. The Execution Parameters dialog box opens.
2. Select the Automatically Record New SCP Version option.
3. Select OK.Once Simulation execution is started, the recording is started. From the Simulation Execution window, you can start or stop the playback recording by selecting options: Record > Record SCP or Record > Stop SCP Recording.
