Switched Shunt field objects are used primarily to indicate various quantities associated with switched shunt devices. Furthermore, some switched shunt field types, which are distinguished by an integrated spin button, may be used to change switched shunt device properties.
Run Mode
For switched shunt fields with an associated spin button, clicking on the up/down arrows will change the value of the associated field.
Right clicking on a switched shunt field gives you the option to open the Switched Shunt Field Dialog or the Switched Shunt Information Dialog.
Edit Mode
Simulator offers two options for adding switched shunt fields to a oneline in Edit Mode. If you need to enter only a single field, the easier approach may be to choose Field > Switched Shunt Field from the Individual Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab, and then select the switched shunt to which you want to add the field. This invokes the Switched Shunt Field Dialog. Enter the bus number associated with the device (the default is the bus associated to the closest switched shunt 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 switched shunt fields entails right-clicking the switched shunt and selecting Add New Fields Around Switched Shunt from the resulting local menu. Please see Inserting and Placing Multiple Display Fields for more details.
To modify the parameters of an existing switched shunt field, position the cursor anywhere on the object and right-click. This brings up the Switched Shunt Field Dialog. Make use of the tools on the Formatting ribbon group to change various display attributes of the field, including its font and background color.
