View simulated data

Before you can view simulated run-time data, your Galaxy:

• Must contain attributes that are configured to use I/O Auto Assignment.

• Must be deployed along with the Simulator and any instances with I/O Auto Assignment. If necessary, you can link instances to the simulator server in the IO Devices view.

  Note: When instances are created, they are assigned to the Simulator Fast scan group by default. To change the scan group assignment of an asset, you must undeploy the instance first.

To connect to the simulation server

1. In the Mapping view, select the Validate Reference(s) icon. The simulation server generates simulated numeric data and displays a randomly generated number for attributes that contain valid input references. Validated references are shown with a green background. References that did not validate are shown with a red background.

2. To refresh the simulated run-time value, select the Validate Reference(s) button again.

   

Supported data types

The simulation server supports the following data types:

• Boolean

• Integer

• Float

• Double

• String

• Time

• ElapsedTime

• InternationalizedString

All supported data types are treated as integer and return integer data for validated references.

Unknown data types
