Generator field objects are used primarily to indicate various quantities associated with generation devices. Furthermore, some generator field types, which are distinguished by an integrated spin button, may be used to change generation device properties.
Run Mode
For generator fields with an associated spin button, clicking on the up/down arrows will change the value of the associated field.
Right clicking on a generator field gives you the option to open the Generator Field Dialog or the Generator Information Dialog.
Edit Mode
Simulator offers two options for adding generator fields to a oneline in Edit Mode. If you need to enter only a single field, the easier approach may be to choose Field > Generator Field from the Individual Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab and click near generator for which you want to add the field. This invokes the Generator Field Dialog. Enter the bus number associated with the device (the default is the bus associated to the closest generator to the field), the ID field, the total number of digits to show, and the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Next, select the type of field to show. For generator actual MW and Setpoint MW types and load MW and Mvar fields, specify a nonzero value in the Delta per Mouse Click to design a bus field with an integrated spin control. The Gen AGC Status field is used to display the automatic generation control status of the generator. The user can toggle this status in Simulator by clicking on the field. Likewise, the Gen AVR Status field is used to display the automatic voltage regulation status of the generator. Again, the user can toggle this status by clicking on the field.
The second approach for adding new generator fields entails right-clicking the bus and selecting Add New Fields Around Generator from the resulting local menu. Please see Inserting and Placing Multiple Display Fields for more details.
To modify the parameters of an existing generator field, position the cursor anywhere on the object and right-click. This brings up the Generator Field Dialog. Choose 
, or 
from the Formatting ribbon group to change various display attributes of the field, including its font and background color.
