Default The equivalent of Recorder after version 7

I read a book mentioning about taking "Weight averages by time" of user-defined data (from a GlobalTable cell, as a node item) using Recorder. However, since after version 7, the Recorder object is removed, then how do I get this similar feature for version 7.5? Your help is appreciated.

Hello,

Recorder object is removed from the library menu since from version 7 as it is easy to display statistics in the dashboard. You can plot the user-defined data through other means by using a dynamic text,custom chart,HTML statistic in the dashboard that are based simply on the events.You have to write a code or a variable that is linked to a object or node to define what data should display in the chart.

Thank you for quick reply. To be more specific in my raised issue, I want the Flexsim to automatically calculate the min/avg/max of certain cell of a GlobalTable, which is a built-in function of Recorder. In the end of simulation run, the time-average of that certain cell will be collected for other purposes. Now my temp solution to this is to use Recorder downloaded from accompanied book website, as a user library in my Flexsim 7.5.0 to get this function, but if there is any other equivalent after version 7 that can fulfill my needs? I know writing my own code can solve it, but this customization won't serve well. Your help is appreciated.

In this thread (https://www.flexsim.com/community/fo...ad.php?t=2690), I posted an example of how you can get Min/Max/Avg values and display them in a Dashboard. It is on our development list to make this easier in a coming version.

Attached is another example that shows how you can use tracked variables to get the same stats that the Recorder collects, and then how to display the Min/Max/Avg values using a Custom Chart in the Dashboard or a Model Documentation widget.
