7.3. Simulator

The simulator is available in two versions. "RLSimuGui" has a graphical interface and "RLSimu"
runs on command line. Both offer the same functionality.
The simulator will be started by opening a console (both Windows and Linux) and from the
"Bin" folder, the following command must be invoked:
RLSimu <typeP> <FGlobals> <FDetectors> <FLog> <DPersistent> <FSimulation>
●
RLSimuGui <typeP> <FGlobals> <FDetectors> <FLog> <DPersistent> <FSimulation>
●
Where:
RLSimu: simulator executable.
●
RLSimuGui: graphical interface simulator executable.
●
typeP: product type simulated:
●
BirdWatchRL
○
BirdWatchRLPlus
○
FGlobals: path (absolute or relative) to the unit configuration file.
●
FDetectors: path (absolute or relative) to the detectors and traffic lights configuration
●
file.
FLog: path (absolute or relative) to the log file generated by RLSimu.
●
DPersistent: folder where incidences will be stored (simulates the Log/ folder of the unit
●
FTP). The simulator will create the sub-folder "Incidences" (if it don't exist).
FSimulation: file that contains the simulation instructions.
●
7.3.1. Graphical interface
The GUI simulator has all the features of the command line simulator, but its status can be
watched in a more visual way. It has also some additional functionalities, such as to modify the
simulation speed in real time or pause the simulation. It has a single window where the
following fields can be seen:
Live Camera: graphical representation of the virtual lane. All movements taking place
●
on that lane can be seen.
Detectors: list of all detectors and their related tasks.
●
Unit:
●
I/O events: notes if the unit has been configured to send events when the state of
○
digital inputs and outputs changes. This feature is configured through Globals.ini,
VL library or the diagnosis tool.
I/O card:
