To specify the Simulate Mode
1. Select Simulate Mode from the Terminal Setup submenu and
press the Enter key. A dialog allows you to toggle between a
simulation lasting for only a single pass, and a simulation cycling
continuously through many passes.
Simulate Mode
Single Pass
2. Use the up or down arrow keys to toggle between:
•
Single Pass. This mode will trigger messages starting with the
Simulate Message Start parameter (message number) and end
with the Simulate Message Stop parameter. Each message within
the start/stop range will be triggered once.
•
Continuous. This mode will trigger messages starting with the
Simulate Message Start parameter (message number) and end
with the simulate Message Stop parameter. Once each message
within the start/stop range is triggered, the process starts over.
The MessageView terminal continues to cycle through the
messages until the Simulate feature is disabled or the Simulate
mode is set to Single Pass. In the latter case, it will run through
the cycle one last time.
3. Press the Enter key to save the option and return to the
Terminal Setup submenu.
Or press the Ack key to return to the Terminal Setup
submenu without saving anything.
4. Press the Ack key to return to the FPE menu.
