- Using the signal controller type Fixed time (Using signal controller type Fixed time).
- In the description of the signal control procedure selected (Modeling signal controllers), (Overview of add-on modules).
5. If for the types Fixed time, Epics/Balance-Central or External you want to create or edit signal programs using Vissig, click the Edit Signal Control button (Opening and using the signal controller editor).
6. To evaluate simulation data, in the tabs Signal Times Table Config. or SC Detector Record Config., make the settings of your choice depending on the control procedure (Showing signal times table in a window), (Evaluating signal controller detector records).
