Showing a signal control detector record in a window

The SC detector record contains data of the last 100 seconds of a simulation run or tests. Before showing the SC detector record, configure the SC detector record of the SC (Configuring an SC detector record in SC window).

Tip: Alternatively to the next step, you can open the SC detector record for a specific SC. In doing so, you are skipping the next step and are not selecting any settings for labeling. In the Signal Controllers list, right-click the desired signal control and from the shortcut menu, choose Show SC Detector Record.

1. From the Evaluation menu, choose > Window > SC Detector Record.

The SC Detector Record - Windows opens.

2. Make the desired changes:

Element	Description
Selected SC	Select SC
All	Select all defined SCs. The evaluation for each SC is shown in a window.
None	Cancel selection of all SCs

3. Confirm with OK.

The SC Detector Record - window closes. The SC<Number> Detector Record - window for the selected SC opens. When you start the simulation, the SC detector record is displayed depending on the settings made in the SC Detector Record Config. tab.

Results of SC detector evaluation

During a simulation or during a test run, the values of all data specified in the configuration in the last 100 simulation seconds are shown in the SC Detector Record window.

The type of values which can be recorded depends on the control procedures of each SC. You can refer to the documentation of the control program in this case.

If in the Direct Output tab you selected SC Detector Record and the simulation or test run have been completed, the *.ldp file contains the following data: The SC detector record is constructed as a table with one row per simulation second and one column per selected type of values. The record can show up to 1,000 values and up to 3,000 characters per row.

Element	Description
Row 1	Name of evaluation with time of evaluation
Row 2	Comment on simulation
Row 3	SC number, control files, program number, simulation run or test
Other rows	Evaluation data. The columns correspond to the sequence of values in the Configuration window.

Note: The values are saved after the run of the control logic.

When you perform multiple simulation runs using different random seeds, the number of the respective simulation run is added to the name of the evaluation file *.ldp.

For VS-PLUS, you may also output the following value types in the SC detector record (SG = signal group; VS = Verkehrsstrom - German for traffic volume):

Value type	Meaning
Active flag of traffic volume	Active flag of traffic volume, VS-Plus specific
GreenMax of traffic volume	GreenMax of traffic volume, VS-Plus specific
Main indicator PE	Next traffic volume of main sequence of the relevant priority element (1-6) to be processed
Control time of traffic volume	Control time of traffic volume, VS-Plus specific
Empty column	Distance from a space
Priority class of traffic volume	By default: 1: PrT, 2: PT, 3: Emergency vehicles
Priority level of traffic volume	Priority level of traffic volume: 1: normal 2: maximum reasonable waiting time exceeded
Priority value of traffic volume	Priority level of traffic volume, VS-Plus specific
Signal state of SG	. Red = Red/Amber \| Green / Amber
Simul.second	Simulation second between 1 and 999,999,999
Separator	vertical line between two columns
Cycle second	Tx second between 1 and cycle time
DET waiting time	Counter which adds up the time from the first passing of a detector to the next release
Waiting time of traffic volume	Time in seconds since detection of the traffic volume (such as DET waiting time - deceleration time)
State of DET	+: within a simulation second, a vehicle has either completely passed the detector or a vehicle has left the detector and another has reached it (rising and falling edge in one time step) \|: at the end of the time step there is a vehicle on the detector and no vehicle has left the detector within this time step. .: The detector is not occupied during the time step.
State of calling point	State of a calling point
State of traffic volume	Coded state of the traffic volume, for example: 1: detected 9: Green command given 10: Switched to green 21: Red command given
