Simulator Overview
The Internal Server Simulator is a module in FrameWorX that provides simulated data to client applications. It includes:
- Real-time data variables of various types Learn more
- Simulated historical data samples Learn more
- Simulated datasets Learn more
The signals exposed by the Simulator may have different shapes, such as sine wave, ramp, triangle, square etc.. These shapes are hard-coded in the Simulator, but each signal has parameters that can be customized.
Unlike other modules, the Simulator does not have a configuration database. Instead, the parameters of the simulated signals are specified in their point names. You may define the signal's data type, amplitude, period, and offset using a special, flexible syntax.
Some signals are predefined in the Simulator and can be easily found in the browser, but you are not limited to these. Point names of the browsed items can be changed to change their behavior.
