Buildings.Utilities.Reports.Printer Buildings.Utilities.Reports.Printer

Model that prints values to a file

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:

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

Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.DiscreteBlock (Base class of discrete control blocks).

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
TimesamplePeriod Sample period of component [s]

Stringheader""Header to be printed
StringfileName""File name (empty string is the terminal)
Integernin1Number of inputs
Integerconfiguration1Index for treating final report (see documentation)
IntegerminimumLength1Minimum length of result string
IntegersignificantDigits16Number of significant digits

Connectors
