• EQT_SIM_Release_Note 1.2.doc: Release note.

• Equipment simulator install.exe: The single executable to start in order to install the product.

2.2.3 Proceeding to the installation

NOTE: You need administrator privileges to install the Equipment Simulator. If you currently do not have enough privileges, log off and on again with administrator privileges before installing the Equipment Simulator.

To install the Equipment Simulator simply start “Equipment simulator install.exe”.

The Equipment Simulator setup wizard will guide you through the setup process.

Click Next> on the welcome dialog.

Then read the license agreement and accept it by clicking Yes.

Then, if you install on a computer on which the equipment simulator was already installed, the following question appears.

Except if you are an expert, you need to answer Yes to the question.

Then you will have to enter your registration key (see registration) and user information.

Enter your name, company, serial key and then proceed by clicking Next>. If you do not have a registration key at this time, you can let "dummyKey" as your serial.

If you have already registered a previous version of the simulator, current information is automatically filled into the dialog. Do not change them if OK.

When the following dialog is displayed, choose the directory, where the Equipment Simulator should be installed (or leave default option) and click Next >.

At last, choose (or leave the default one) the program folder where the equipment simulator shortcuts will be installed in the startup menu and click Next>.

The installation wizard now proceeds to the installation of the Equipment Simulator. When it is finished, you get the following window. Click Finish to terminate the installation wizard.

2.2.4 What is installed Files

The following files are installed the folder chosen during the installation:

Bastypes.cfg : List of basic types and common classes

Cmax20.dll : dll codemax

Equipsim.cnt : link file for the online help.

EquipSim.exe : Equipment simulator executable file EquipSim.hlp : Equipment simulator online help file Sceintf.dtd : DTD for the XML configuration file

Escren.dll resources : English release of the Equipment simulator EquipSimUserManual.doc : this document

EQT_SIM_ReleaseNote_1.2.doc : Release Note Startup menu item

A folder is added to the startup. This folder contains 2 menu items. One to start the equipment simulator, and the other to view the user manual.

By default, folder name is “Areva/Pacis/Equipment simulator”

2.3 Registration

To fully use the Equipment Simulator, registration is necessary. Registration must be done on every computer the Equipment Simulator is used on. During registration the Equipment Simulator calculates a unique number for your computer. This number must be sent to an e-mail address. An activation key for your computer is sent back and must be entered into the Equipment Simulator.

Without registration, simulations are possible for a period of 60 days. After 60 days you can still use the Equipment Simulator, load XML configuration files and workspaces and browse through the device structure but you cannot start simulation. During the evaluation period of 60 days you can use all features of the Equipment Simulator including simulations.

When you start a simulation the Equipment Simulator checks if you have registered. If not, the following dialog is displayed which gives information about the remaining evaluation period.

If you select Register Later, the Equipment Simulator starts the simulation process. Select Register Now to register the Equipment Simulator. You can also choose Help - Register...

from the main menu to register the Equipment Simulator at any time.

The following dialog is used for registration.

The unique number calculated for your computer is displayed in the first text box. Send this number per e-mail to [email protected]. An activation key will be calculated for your computer and sent back to you. Enter the returned number into the registration key text box and click register.

If you do not register within 60 days after the first start of the Equipment Simulator, you cannot start further simulations. Until you register, the following dialog is displayed every time you start a simulation.

2.4 Configuration

When you start the Equipment Simulator the first time, some basic configuration settings should be checked. If you have installed the Equipment Simulator after the installation of the UCA2 Agency and you have selected the appropriate option in the Setup Wizard, no modification of configuration settings should be necessary. But in this case you should carefully read this chapter too and check if all settings, which are done automatically, are correct.

For most of the configuration settings, the Equipment Simulator uses default values which are built in. With the exception of some paths for the UCA2 Agency and its configuration files you normally have to check only if the default values match your requirements and modify only those which do not.

NOTE: Configuration settings are stored in the Windows registry. If you want to transfer configuration settings between computers or users, you can use the Microsoft Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) to export registry settings on one computer and import it on another computer.

Configuration settings are stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AREVA\Equipment

Simulator and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AREVA\-Equipment Simulator registry keys. If you transfer the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of the Equipment Simulator settings be sure that you do not include the registration key stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AREVA\Equipment

Simulator\Registration because the registration key is not valid on other computers.

This chapter contains a description of how to change the settings which are absolutely necessary. Other settings are described in the chapters where they are used and affect the behavior of the Equipment Simulator.

NOTE: The Equipment Simulator stores most of its settings in the Windows registry. Some of the settings and options are stored on a per user basis, some are not. Settings which are not stored on a per user basis are located in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key. To change settings stored under this registry key appropriate privileges are necessary, which ordinary users normally do not have. You must be logged on with administrator privileges or the appropriate right assigned by your administrator if you are logged on as ordinary user.

Settings which cannot be changed are grayed in the options dialog.

To change configuration settings and Equipment Simulator options choose Tools Options... from the menu. The following dialog is displayed:

Equipment Simulator options are organized in categories with the categories displayed in a tree like hierarchy on the left side and the options of a selected category on the right side. To change the settings for a category simply select its name on the left side.

Please check and if necessary adjust the following settings when you first start the Equipment Simulator:

1. Select the Object Foundry Settings - General category.

2. Enter the path where the object foundry executable can be found. The object foundry, ODFOUNDRY.EXE, can normally be found in the directory where the UCA2 Agency has been installed. You can use the Browse... button to choose the path.

3. Enter the path and name of the basic type ids configuration file. This file is normally copied during Equipment Simulator setup and can be found in the Equipment Simulator installation directory. The name of the file is BASTYPES.CFG. You can use the Browse... button to locate the file.

4. Enter the path where the Equipment Simulator should store temporary object definition and data model files. You can use the Browse... button to choose the path.

5. Select the UCA2 Agency Settings- General category.

6. Enter the path where the UCA2 Agency is installed. You can use the Browse...

button to choose the path.

7. Select the Simulation of Files category.

8. Enter the root directory where the Equipment Simulator should store files for servers which are simulated. For every server simulated by the Equipment Simulator a virtual root directory under this directory is created, where the server specific files are stored. See "Simulation of Files" for more details on how to simulate files with the Equipment Simulator. You can use the Browse... button to choose the path.

NOTE: The default AGENCY.CFG file, which is generated by the Equipment Simulator before a simulation is started contains settings for a maximum of 3 client and 3 server sessions. If you need to simulate more sessions simultaneously you need to adjust the MaxClientSession and MaxServerSession settings appropriately under the UCA2 Agency Settings - Agency Configuration File category.

With these basic configuration settings done you should be able to do simulations.
