Buildings.Utilities.Reports.Printer

Information

This model prints to a file or the terminal at a fixed sample interval.

The parameter configuration controls the printing as follows:

configuration	configuration
1	print at sample times only
2	print at sample times and at end of simulation
3	print at end of simulation only

Parameters

Type	Name	Default	Description
Time	samplePeriod		Sample period of component [s]
Time	startTime	0	First sample time instant [s]
String	header	""	Header to be printed
String	fileName	""	File name (empty string is the terminal)
Integer	nin	1	Number of inputs
Integer	configuration	1	Index for treating final report (see documentation)
Integer	minimumWidth	1	Minimum width of result
Integer	precision	16	Number of significant digits

Connectors

Type	Name	Description
input RealInput	x[nin]	Value to be printed
