8 FUNCTIONS OF THE CONFIGURATION TOOL
8.10 Debug Function
3. Set "Simulation step unit time setting".
Changing "Simulation step unit time setting" changes the following timing.
• Timing to move external input data to the next step (Data is changed one step by one step at the set unit time.)
• Acquisition interval of execution result data (An execution result for one step is acquired at the set unit time.)
Users can save the set simulation input data with the "Save to File" button (Data is saved only in CSV format).
The following shows the CSV file format specifications. When creating a CSV file with any method other than the one using
the "Simulation Settings" window, create the file in the same format.
Users can open a saved CSV file from "Open from the file" of "Open/Save the simulation input data from a file".
• The "Writing to Module" button only writes simulation input data into the module. Write the hardware logic
into the module in advance.
• The simulation input data written into the module is cleared when the module is powered off.
• When the external input signal data in the CSV file selected from "Open from the file" has less than 2048
steps or 12 rows, the data is not reflected in the "Simulation Settings" window. When the data has 2048
steps or more or 12 rows or more, the external input signal data of 2048 steps or 12 rows is read. The data
that is not the read target is discarded.
