Menu File

New File

Opens a blank PRBC supply file.

Warning: If signal groups are assigned to the existing controller in the window when creating a new file, and the signal groups are not recreated within the new controller, signal group information for signal head network objects may be lost.

Import File

Supported import file formats:

  • PRBC files (*.prbc): Imports a previously defined PRBC supply file.
  • Backup Files (*.prbc.bak): Imports a previously saved PRBC backup supply file. The backup file is saved automatically when you save your PRBC supply file.
  • Old RBC files (*.rbc): Imports a RBC supply file which was previously defined in a Vissim version before Vissim 2022.

Warning: If signal groups are assigned to the existing controller in the window when importing a file, and the signal groups are not contained within the imported controller, signal group information for signal head network objects may be lost.

Revert

Undo changes and revert to initial version.

Save a Copy

Save your PRBC supply file with the defined name. When creating a new signal controller you must save your RBC supply file before exi ting, if you want to use the signal timings defined in the interface.

After the file has been saved with a name, any signal timing changes can be saved by clicking OK in the dialog.

When creating a new controller or changing the name of the signal controller PRBC supply file, save your Vissim input file, otherwise the Vissim input file will not use the new PRBC supply file when reopened.

Print

Prints your signal timing information to your desired printer.

Print Preview

Allows you to view the document that will be printed. There are no options for configuration within this dialog. If Print Selection in the menu is checked, only the items selected in the tree view will be shown.
