Displaying Quantity Values

The values for all or only selected quantities of a circuit can also be displayed without measuring instruments.

            Click under the View menu on Quantity Values... to open the dialog box for the display of quantities:

For each of the listed quantities (“Velocity”, “Pressure”, ...) a display mode can be chosen.

  The display of pressure, flows and force values allows the choice of different units. This settings influence the display of state variables of connections, components and state diagrams.

• None No values are displayed for this quantity.
• Particular
  Values are displayed at those connections that the user has previously chosen.
• All
  Values are displayed at all connections for this quantity.
• Display Measurement Units
  Enable this option if both state values and the related units shall be displayed.

 

Selecting connections for the display of single parameters is explained here:

            Open a circuit diagram.

            Change into the Edit Mode and double click on a component connection, or click under the Edit menu on Properties....

A dialog box with the connection settings opens. The field “Show Values” defines the state values to be displayed when the “selected”-option in the state values dialog box is chosen. However, if the “no”-option in the state values dialog box is chosen, even the checked state values are not displayed.

  The settings for the display behavior for state values belong to the current circuit diagram only. Hence, for several open circuit diagrams, different view options can be defined. By clicking on Options- Save Settings Now, the view option settings of the current circuit are saved and serve as default for newly opened circuit diagrams.
