SIMULATION MODE

As of this release not much attention has gone towards the simulation module, so be careful. Future releases may address the simulation module and possibly add hooks for running other language interpreters.

MSGBOX does not work with array elements.

In this version the variables window will not display element names or values. You can still double-click the window to define or re-define variables.

An event and stack bug may make the interpreter fail to return from a function or subroutine call properly. Adding extra event labels to the flowcode might allow the call to operate.

The equation and logic parser may not report all cases of bad expression usage. Be sure all logic and control statements use only the operators listed in the IRL help reference. The IRL help is ancient but usable.

The equation parser does not support intrinsic math functions in this release. However, you can compute math functions using a custom DLL function. Some examples are provided.

When jumping between errors in simulation mode the edit statement option may get confused about what statement to edit.

With certain types of errors messages may not accurately reflect the actual problem. Please report these errors along with the VFC file that caused it.

Simulation speed control may not respond as expected. Be aware that on slower computers a fast simulation can backlog the message queue.
