A table is a UI view that displays and controls data points.

Tables

The tables under the “Models” section are lists of data points obtained either from RT-LAB or HYPERSIM.

Though Table boards and models look similar, they differ in that in model tables, the data points cannot be added or removed (since they are provided by RT-LAB/HYPERSIM), whereas the content of a Table board is yours to choose.

Each row in the table is a data point, whether it is in the table of a Simulink/HYPERSIM model or a board table, or in the sidebar of widgets or blocks. A data point is a parameter or a signal.

The Connections table shows all connections within the project. See Connecting Data Points.

Selection

You may select data points by clicking on a row of the table. Use SHIFT or CTRL to multiselect.

Filtering

It is also possible to filter rows using the filter input:

Sorting

Rows can be sorted alphanumerically. Using SHIFT sorts multiple columns in the order in which they were clicked.

The “Value” and ”Connection” columns cannot be sorted, and their content cannot be used for filtering, since it can be edited.

Editing Values

To edit a scalar value, simply click on the value, or use the “Edit” option in the context menu.

For nonscalar values, edits are made in a smaller table view that pops up when you click on the value.

Other values are not numerical in nature, such as booleans (represented with a switch), colors (represented with a color picker) and files (represented with a file picker).

Adding Connections

The data point picker can be opened using the “+” button under the ”Connection” column.

For more information, visit the Connecting Data Points page.

Context Menu

The context menu is accessible from the “...” dots or using the right click anywhere on the row.

Selected rows can be added to a table board using the “Add to Board” option.

Tables for Simulink Models from RT-LAB

Simulink models are acquired from RT-LAB and synced automatically. The model’s status is shown next to the name. 

The name of a Simulink or HYPERSIM model cannot be edited in Dashboards, since it is provided by RT-LAB or HYPERSIM. Only the values of data points and connections can be edited.

Context Menu

In RT-LAB context, selected rows can be reset to the default value using the “Reset to Default Value” option. The default value is either the RT-LAB initial value or the value in the library.

Table Boards

The table board is a collection of data points from different sources. It inherits the functionalities of a table, and it is also possible to remove data points from it.
