Cell Data v/s Time graph

Hi,

I want to plot the dinamic value of a cell in a global tablel v/s time. I know there is a cartesian sample that i can use but i can`t see it in my flexsim.

I think it must to be easy but...

If someone can helpme...

René.

I'm not a 100% sure if I understood you right. But you might use the WatchList feature to montor the variable and use the OnChange Trigger to write the current value and time stamp to a GlobalTable.

If you are using a global table, then you don't need a watch list because you change the value yourself. Wherever you change the value, store the prior value in a list somewhere.

Also, in version 6, you can just use a tracked variable and it will do this for you automatically every time you change the tracked variable's value. You can then see a graph of the tracked variable's values over time.

Hi Phil,

could you please explain how to add a tracked variable? It´s not my problem to push the ADD Button but how to get the variable live?
I got a label that shows the content of a complex system but not about all items in model. Am searching for a way to display this data vs time as graph.
Hope using tracked variable is the right way, or is there anybody got another nice idea?

I think you'll need to use settrackedvariable(name,value)

Thanks for this information.
Only one further question to go sure I understood everything right:
I do have to set the tracked variable everytime I change value in label?

So it will have to look like:

setlabelnum(current,"Mylabel",1);
settrackedvariable(TrackedVariable3,getlabelnum(current,"Mylabel"));

!?

Just thougt it might work like declaring a global variable.

You use settrackedvariable() instead of setlabelnum() and gettrackedvariable() instead of getlabelnum().

It works more like a label than a global variable because you have to set and get with commands.
