Batch Mode Simulation : Working with a Simulation Control Program (SCP)

Working with a Simulation Control Program (SCP)

This section discusses the mechanics of using the Simulation tool to manipulate and run your Simulation Control Program. One way to create an SCP is to record the Simulation session for playback.

SCL files are manipulated through the use of the SCL Files Management dialog box. This dialog box can be accessed through the Simulation Profile Editor and the Simulation Execution menu.

To manipulate an SLP file, perform the following steps:

1.
Select File > Simulation File Management > SCP File Management. The SCL File Management dialog box opens.
2.
Select an SCP file from the Files list. The selected SCP file can be Edited, Compiled, Copied, Deleted, Exported, and Printed. Each command is described in detail below:

New – Used to create a new SCP file. You can create a new file from this dialog box.

Edit – Starts an editor so the selected SCP file can be edited.

Compile – Used to compile the SCP file and display any errors/warnings to the Simulation window.

Copy –Copies the selected profile after you re-name it. (Works the same way as Save as.).

Export – Works the same way as Copy except you can save it to another workarea or directory.

Print – Used to print the selected SCL file.

Dismiss button – The Dismiss button is used to dismiss the SCL Management dialog box.
