SCADA Component object Slave

I think I see...

I was hoping that I didn't need to use a flag and if statement.

Just tried in v8 and using a [SIM] block just compiles as a call to a macro as in normal code - I was fooled by the name..

However:

The setter and getter functions for these don't produce any code - but I don't see a way to replicate this without using a flag (is there a 'global flag 'SIMULATION' or 'SCADA' which is set defined if the program is running is that mode?)

Another idea.

In the component export properties can set a macro as downloadable and also set a simulation macro for this..

I see this is done with the glcd component - so for example BPlot has BPlotSim as it's simulation macro.

However - I created a macro Test (original) - and a macro TestSim. Setting Test as a downloadable macro - I only get 'Test' as an option in 'simulation macro' (or create new macro) - and can't select TestSim as my choice. How do I need to setup Test and TestSim to allow this?

That definitely works - although I could only select macros created in the 'export configuration' using the add macro as the simulation macro.

I created a simple Test and a TestSim - both of which returned an int (but a different one!)
Test also output 1 to d13 (turn on LED)

Output as a component and imported in a new project.

x = Test();
print(x);

Gave the expected result - different value for simulation and hardware..

Magic. That's one of the good things about FC - the more you dig the more features you find....

If you select the HW macro below it write the Sim macro in by hand ,if FC does not want to take it there is a difference in Parameters between them, I have noticed ,then select the sim macro and set it to Hidden The SampleChannelRaw is the HW (embedded ) macro and the SampleChannelRawSim() is its Simulation macro

Hope this also helps a bit
