Load Fields on Onelines

Concept Link IconSee Also

 

Load field objects are used primarily to indicate various quantities associated with load devices. Furthermore, some load field types, which are distinguished by an integrated spin button, may be used to change load device properties.

Run Mode

For load fields with an associated spin button, clicking on the up/down arrows will change the value of the associated field.

Right clicking on a load field gives you the option to open the Load Field Dialog or the Load Information Dialog.

Edit Mode

Simulator offers two options for adding load fields to a oneline in Edit Mode. If you need to enter only a single field, the easier approach may be to choose Field > Load Field from the Individual Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab and then select the load to which you want to add the field. This invokes the Load Field Dialog. Enter the bus number associated with the device (the default is the bus associated to the closest load 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.

The second approach for adding new generator fields entails right-clicking the bus and selecting Add New Fields Around Load from the resulting local menu. Please see Inserting and Placing Multiple Display Fields for more details.

To modify the parameters of an existing load field, position the cursor anywhere on the object and right-click. This brings up the Load Field Dialog. Choose , or from the Formatting ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab to change various display attributes of the field, including its font and background color.
