# Simulator

### Simulator: RAMP - Number

```
RAMP(RATE,LOWER_LIMIT,HIGHER_LIMIT,INCREMENT)
```

* **RATE** - The number of minutes it takes to increment the value
* **LOWER\_LIMIT** - The lower limit of the value being incremented
* **HIGHER\_LIMIT** - The upper limit of the value being incremented
* **INCREMENT** - The amount with which the ramp should increase each increment

e.g. RAMP(12,10,150,7) - this creates a value that ramps up from 10 to 150, in increments of 7, every 12 minutes.

### Simulator: SIN - Number

```
SIN(LOWER_LIMIT,HIGHER_LIMIT,FREQUENCY,PHASE)
```

* **LOWER\_LIMIT** - The lower limit of the value being changed
* **HIGHER\_LIMIT** - The upper limit of the value being changed
* **FREQUENCY** - The time, in minutes, taken for the sine function to cycle
* **PHASE** - The offset in terms of frequency from the start of the oscillations. It is a value in the range of 0 to 1 where the value 0.5 move the wave forward in time by half its frequency. A value of 0 or 1 makes no change

e.g. SIN(-20,50,1,0) - this produces a sin wave with with minimum of -20, and maximum of 50, at a frequency of 1/60Hz, and no phase.

### Simulator: RANDOM - Number

```
RANDOM(LOWER_LIMIT,HIGHER_LIMIT)
```

* **LOWER\_LIMIT** - The lower limit of the value being changed
* **HIGHER\_LIMIT** - The upper limit of the value being changed

e.g. RANDOM(1,45) - a number will be randomly generated between 1 and 45 every minute.

### Simulator: PRODUCT\_COUNT - Number

```
PRODUCT_COUNT(RATE,INCREMENT)
```

* **RATE** - The number of minutes it takes for the value to increment by one. If no rate is provided, the default is 1 minute
* **INCREMENT** - The number of products to count each rate. The product count will vary +- 5% of the increment every time it is updated.

e.g. PRODUCT\_COUNT(5, 10) - the product count will increase by 10, every 5 minutes.

### Simulator: BOOLEAN - Boolean

```
BOOLEAN(RATE)
```

* **RATE** - the time in minutes until the boolean swaps. If no rate is provided, the default is 1 minute.

e.g. BOOLEAN(5) - the boolean value will switch between true and false every 5 minutes.

### Simulator: EQUIPMENT\_STATUS - Boolean

```
EQUIPMENT_STATUS_TYPE(RATE)
```

* **EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_TYPE** - replace with the status to track from the following options:
  * EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_RUNNING
  * EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_STOPPED
  * EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_BLOCKED
  * EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_COMPLETE
  * EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_READY
  * EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_STARVED
  * EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_SUSPENDED
* **RATE** - the time in minutes until the Equipment Status changes from STOPPED to RUNNING to READY etc. Only one can be true at a time.

e.g. EQUIPMENT\_STATUS\_RUNNING(5) - the "running" status will be checked to see if it is true, and the equipment status will change every 5 minutes.
