|
step test Xocs diagram opens up >> Point to Heat and Fan | Using the step test Xocs diagram, we can set the experiment parameters such as Heat and Fan.
|
Demo | I will set the heat to vary from 30% to 45% after 300 seconds.
|
Save and execute | Now let us save and execute the xcos diagram.
To execute, click on the Start button on the menu bar. |
If there is no error, it will open a plot window. | |
Point to the 3 graphs | It will consist of three graphs, Heat, Fan and Temperature from top to bottom. |
Switch to SBHS client | Switch to the SBHS client. |
Point as per narration | It shows the values of current iteration, heat, fan, temperature and time left for experimentation. |
Point to the log file name | It shows the log file name it has created for this experiment. |
Switch to the web browser
click on show video |
Switch to the browser.
Click on Show video option. It will give a live video feed of the SBHS you are currently accessing. |

|
Resume the recording >> Point to the graph shown | After sufficient time of experiment, the graph obtained is as shown. |
Click on Stop button on xcos window | I will stop the simulation by clicking on the stop button available on the Xcos window. |
Close SBHS client | Close the SBHS client window after the experiment is over. |
switch to the experiment folder >> open logs folder >> point to your username folder | Now, switch to the experiment folder and open the logs folder.
|
Open username folder >> locate log file
|
