snapio_sim
Purpose:
-
Simulate snapio devices without needing any hardware for the system.
Enter:
-
snapio_sim <num_device> <time> [fluxucation] [step]
Where:
-
num_device
Specify the number of brains to simulate.
fluxuation
Specify one of the following:
- rand to use random numbers
- step
- vars to use CyFlex variables
time
Specify the time to sleep between sends in milliseconds.
step
If step is specified for fluxuation, specify the amount to step by.
Example:
-
snapio_sim 2 500 rand
Where: 2 is for the number of brains rand is indicating to use random values 500 is idicating the amount of time between sends.
Note: To use cyflex variables, there must be an ao_attr and/or a do_attr file ran after the simulator is started. The ao_attr file and the do_attr file should match up with what is specified in the other system’s ai_attr file and di_attr file on the server side. Once they match up properly, setting ao channel 1 on the simulator side should correspond to ai channel 1 on the server side.
