List

To open the Dialog Window of the Event Debugger, click this.

The event list contains the types of scheduled events, which the objects in your simulation model entered and which the EventController has to process. It is sorted ascending by time. It lists the type of event, the scheduled processing time, the receiver and the sender of the event, and parameters.

  • The column Breakpoint shows an S, for a breakpoint which you inserted by double-clicking a cell in the row.

    Double-click a cell in the row where you would like to insert a single breakpoint. Then the Event Debugger stops the simulation immediately before the EventController processes that event. Double-click again to remove the breakpoint.

  • The column Type shows the type of the event.

  • The column Time shows the point in time at which the event is going to be executed.

  • The column Receiver shows the object that receives the simulation event.

  • The column Sender shows the object that sends the simulation event.

  • The column Insertion Time shows the point in time at which the event was entered into the event list. This column is hidden by default. Drag the column separator to show it.

  • The column Parameters shows additional information for certain event types, for example the sensor ID (SensorStart), the name of the failure profile (DisruptionBegin), or the parameters passed to a Method (MethCall).
