Tutorial: node / slot assignment

Before the simulation can do anything useful, you need to assign transmission slots to the nodes.

When the simulation isn't running, the static slots show those assignments.

Now, node #1 should use the first slots within each segment and node #2 should use the second slot in each segment. Assignments can be created in the node configurations dialog. In communication cycle it is also possible to make the assignment for the static segment. Move the mouse over the communication cycle and you will see a marker showing you where you are.


A left click on a static slot will open a configuration dialog to assign clicked slot with a node. The title of the dialog will show you the exact slot and channel that you clicked, so you can't confuse it.


As you can see, it is also possible to cancel a slot assignment by selecting unused.

The static slot assignment will be displayed in the communication cycle by filling the appropriate areas with the color of the corresponding nodes. To follow the tutorial now, please configure it like this:
