HYPERSIM Connection

Displays the window below. The connection option is to select which HYPERSIM to connect to. If there are two opened instances of HYPERSIM for example, the user would have the choice to select between HYPERSIM [1] and HYPERSIM [2]. In the Edition section, the current design dropdown menu has a list of all the models that are open in one HYPERSIM instance. It is recommended to only have one model open while working with TestView.

Note: It is important to keep in mind that TestView does not interact directly with the original model. When a script is executed for the first time, TestView will make a copy of the model in the TestView project directory and interact with this model onwards.

If the copy is detected in the project folder, it will not re-copy the original model again. Therefore, if some modifications are made to the original model after the copy was made, the modifications will not be applied to the copy, thus they will not be affecting the test sequence.

Import HYPERSIM Network

Deprecated functionality. Import a .sch model (legacy Linux user interface) to the project.

Import HYPERSIM I/O Sensors

Import signal sensors (.sig) to the project. It has the same functionality as importing the sensors from the HYPERSIM Settings command.

Signals Manager

Display the window below. The Signals Key Manager is similar to the Sensors form in HYPERSIM.

However, considerations must be taken here for the performance of the test sequence as every signal selected will be acquired with every test, based on the parameters entered in the Processing command.

One more signal might not be perceptible, but hundreds more signals could mean several more seconds at each test, which would lead to a few more hours to run an entire test sequence with thousands of tests.
