2. Download the Node Controller Configuration File from the node controller. If a Node
Controller Configuration File does not exist, see the QuickStick Configurator User
Manual, MMI-UM009, to create one.
A. From the node controller web interface, select Configuration Files on the
Main Menu.
B. Under Node Controller Configuration File, select Download.
C. Specify a location for the file download, change the file name as appropriate,
and select Save.
The file is named and saved as specified.
3. Edit the Node Controller Configuration File to add simulated vehicles.
NOTE: The Simulated Vehicle is a simulated version of the vehicle that is defined in
the Vehicle section of the Motor Defaults.
A. Open the copy of the Node Controller Configuration File in the Configurator
(see the QuickStick Configurator User Manual, MMI-UM009).
B. Select Show Simulated Vehicles from the Options menu.
C. For each path where simulated vehicles start, define the simulated vehicles and
enter the starting location for each vehicle.
1. In the Configuration Tree, open the Paths list.
2. Select the path where the simulated vehicle is initially located.
3. Right-click on Simulated Vehicles and select Add to End to add a
simulated vehicle.
4. Select the simulated vehicle just added and specify its starting location
on the path.
5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for each vehicle to be added.
D. For Merge and Diverge nodes, specify the Simulated Move Time for the
switching mechanism to accurately simulate switching. This time is the actual
amount of time it takes the switching mechanism to move from one position to
the other position.
1. In the Configuration Tree, open the Nodes list.
2. Select either a Merge or Diverge node.
3. In the Simulated Move Time field, enter the amount of time it takes
for the switch mechanism to change directions.
4. Repeat Step 2 through Step 3 for each Merge/Diverge node in the con-
figuration.
E. Save the updated Node Controller Configuration File.
