Description

This component serves as a widget to monitor signal values at a low refresh rate. The component has 2 display forms :

A digital display, showing the current value of the signal
A LED display, showing a green circle when the current signal value is within the thresholds, red otherwise.

Mask and Parameters

Result displayed as	In addition to the expression, the value displayed can be further filtered:
Title	Name of the value to be displayed in the schematic
Expression	Expression to monitor To monitor a signal use the following syntax: bloc_name.signal_name: BUS1.Va subsystem_name.bloc_name.signal_name: Machnies.SM1.Pref Basic mathematical operations are supported It is possible to do operations on multiple signals such as : bloc_name1.signal1 + (bloc_name2.signal_name)*2 Unlike expressions in other components, no "=" is required at the beginning
Unit	Unit of the value to be displayed in the schematic
last	Last value obtained from the simulation
rms	rms value of the signal
avg	Average value of the signal
min	Minimum value of the signal
max	Maximum value of the signal
Minimum threshold	In the Monitoring Overview GUI, the scope and table become red when the value is out of range
Maximum threshold	In the Monitoring Overview GUI, the scope and table become red when the value is out of range
Hide value and unit	Hides the value and unit on the schematic, to get a lighter LED style display
Display as LED	Replaces the image in the schematics with a fillable circle.

Limitations

The "Display as LED" option has been added in 2021.3. You may encounter a crash of the HyperWorks process if you try to use monitors displayed as LED in an older version of HYPERSIM. To work around this issue, simply deactivate the option in the new version, save the model, and reopen it in the older version. The API may help editing multiple monitors at the same time :

HyWorksApi.setComponentParameter("Mon1", "led", "false")
