Problem with long running simulation

[fennelly]

Hi,

I am trying to use the simulator to test what could best be described as a data logger.

At the start of every hour - the 8051 in the simulated circuit sends a summary of the events that occurred in the previous hour to a virtual terminal.

Everything works fine for the first 24 hours. The simulator then stops running.

Q1) Is there a way of letting the simulator run for a very long time - Months ?

Q2) Can ISIS save the logged data directly to a file?

Yes, this is by design

Q1) Is there a way of letting the simulator run for a very long time - Months ?

A1) No; isn't the purpose a simulator is designed for! Perhaps you may accelerate your test reducing the logging time ?

Q2) Can ISIS save the logged data directly to a file?

A2) Not at the present version of the virtual Terminal. You might use the COMPIM object, though, and a small program in Visual Basic that collects the data from the COM interface and save the logs on your HD.
