SetScaleFactor()
Sets the scaling factor with which the virtual time advances.
Start with a small scaling factor and incrementally approach a scaling factor at which the
virtual controller remains in RUN.
A value between 0.01 and 100 is valid. The default setting is 1.
● If the value is less than 1, the virtual time of the virtual controller runs X-times slower than
the real time.
● If the value is greater than 1, the virtual time of the virtual controller runs X-times faster
than the real time.
A change in the value during runtime only takes effect at the cycle control point.
