Stepping Through an Experiment

It is possible to perform the experiment in single steps. At every step one event is activated in order of their priority.

1. Do one of the following:

   • In the Experiment menu, select Pause Experiment.

   • Click the Pause Offline Experiment button.

   The experiment is paused, i.e. no calculations are performed, but all settings remain active. When you start the experiment again, all data values remain intact.

2. If desired, adjust the number of steps to be performed in the Steps field () before you step through the experiment.

   If, for instance, the number of steps is set to 5, five calculation steps are performed.

3. Do one of the following to perform the experiment in single-step mode:

   • In the Experiment menu, select Step Experiment.

   • Click the Step Offline Experiment button.

   Repeat as necessary. You can also start stepping through an experiment when it is not running. In that case, its state automatically changes from stopped to paused.

In the current version of ASCET, you can choose between three different types of step mode. An experiment either runs a number of steps, a number of seconds, or until it reaches a breakpoint condition.
