Execute
Check
Superficially
F6
Checks the current circuit diagram for mistakes in drawing.
Stop
F5
Switches the current circuit diagram in the Edit Mode.
Start
F9
Starts the simulation or, as the case may be, animation in the current circuit diagram.
Pause
F8
Pauses the current circuit diagram during simulation without leaving the Simulation Mode. The simulation can then be re-animated from this point and continue as if it had not been halted.
If Pauseis clicked while being in the Edit Mode, the circuit diagram switches to the Simulation Mode without starting the simulation. In this manner, the components' states can be set before the simulation is started.
Reset
Sets an already running or paused simulation back to the initial state. The simulation is immediately restarted.
Single
Step
Stops the
simulation after it has run only a little bit. The simulation
will run for a short time period and is then paused
(). The single step mode can
be applied at any time to an already running
simulation.
Simulate until
State Change
Starts the
simulation until a state change happens; the simulation is then
paused (). A state change occurs
when a cylinder piston travels a stop, a valve switches, a relay
or a switch is actuated. The state change mode can be applied at
any time to an already running simulation.
