ModSim Commands
File Menu
The File menu offers the following commands:
New
Creates a new document. Use this command to create a new document in ModSim32.
Open Opens an existing document. Use this command to open an existing document in a new
window. You can open multiple documents at once. Use the Window menu to switch
among the multiple open documents.
Close Closes an opened document. Use this command to close all windows containing the
active document. ModSim32 suggests that you save changes to your document before
you close it. If you close a document without saving, you lose all changes made since
the last time you saved it. Before closing an untitled document, ModSim32 displays
theSave As dialog box and suggests that you name and save the document
.
You can also close a document by using the Close icon on the document's window.
Save Saves an opened document using the same file name. Use this command to save the
active document to its current name and directory. When you save a document for the
first time, ModSim32 displays the Save As dislog box so you can name your document
.
Save As Saves an opened document to a specified file name. Use this command to save and name
the active document. ModSim32 displays Save As dialog box so you can name your
document.
Save Test Saves each open document and creates a test configuration file. Use this command to
save each open document and create a test configuration file which may be later
restored. If an open document has not been previously saved to disk, ModSim32 will
prompt you for a file name under which to save the document. The test configuration
file which is created contains the name of each document and may be used to
automatically reopen each one during the Restore Test command.
Restore Test Restores a previously saved test configuration, (i.e. opens each document file). Use this
command to restore a previously saved test configuration. Each document which was
open during the corresponding Save Test operation will be reopened and associated with
a modbus connection. ModSim may automatically open a test configuration on startup
by including the test file name as a command line option.
Exit Exits ModSim32.
