"Select a generator" Window

This window is opened with Cycle Generators → Configure Generator menu of the ASCMO-Cycle Generator main window.

The "Select a generator" window contains the following elements:

Generator list

This list shows the generator templates (Markov chain and Example Markov Generator) and the cycle generators in your project.

You can filter the list by entering a search term in the "Search generators" field at the top of the list.

You can add new generators as plugins, An example generator plugin is provided with the installation, and can be found in <installation>\Example\CycleGenerator\Plugins\ExampleGeneratorPlugin. See also interface documentation under Help → Interface Help.

"Description" tab

This tab contains a description of the selected cycle generator and its configuration.

Note
Read the information in this tab carefully.

"Configuration" tab

This tab contains all properties that can be set for the selected cycle generator.

Note
You cannot edit the properties of the cycle generator template (Markov chain). Use the Duplicate button to create an empty copy of a template, then edit the copy.

• "Generator settings" area

  "Generator name" field: can be used to change the name of the cycle generator.

  "Training basis" combo box: xelect All cycles to use all cycles in your project as training data.

  Select Selection to open the "Select cycles to continue" window, where you can select one or more cycles as training data.

  

  For the remaining content of the area, see the information given in the "Description" tab or in the tooltips of the fields, options, etc.

• "Input Selection" table

  The "Possible inputs" column lists the cycle columns available in the cycles selected as training basis. The list is adapted if you select/deselect cycles, or if you add/delete columns to/from cycles.

  In the "Select" column, activate the options of the columns you want to use.

  Note
  Only columns available in all cycles selected as training basis are allowed for cycle generation. If you select a column that is unavailable in one or more cycles, the cycle generator is saved in an incomplete state.

Delete generator

Deletes the selected cycle generator. You can delete only one cycle generator at a time.

Duplicate

Creates a copy of the selected cycle generator or cycle generator template.

The copy of a template is empty, the copy of an existing cycle generator contains all settings of the original.

Train modified

If the cycle generator configuration has changed, this button starts training on the selected training basis and closes the "Select a generator" window.

If the cycle generator configuration is unchanged, this button closes the "Select a generator" window without starting a training.

The arrow button next to Train modified offers alternative selections.

Train selected: Training is started also when there were no changes.

Close without training: Training is not started also when there were changes.
