Script Mode Introduction

The Script Mode is used to access the Script Command window. Simulator scripting allows a method of grouping multiple commands for sequential processing by Simulator. From the Script Command Execution window, the user can manually enter script commands for processing, or load an auxiliary file containing multiple script commands and data modification commands. This dialog is useful for debugging script commands while creating an auxiliary file.

Some features in Simulator are meant to be used in either RUN mode or EDIT mode. This functionality is preserved in the script language. If the Script Command Execution Dialog is opened from Edit Mode, Simulator defaults to EDIT mode. If the Script Command Execution Dialog is opened from Run Mode (or when a script is initially started), Simulator defaults to the RUN mode.

To switch modes, use the EnterMode (mode) script command. Simulator will switch to RUN mode automatically for script commands that require that mode. EDIT mode is required to create new objects for most object types.

See the Auxiliary Files and Script Commands topic for more details.
