Advanced Settings

Once you open the options menu there are five main panels you can configure application/service behaviour from.

Open options window

Note

Plugins can add additional settings panels to the options window.

General Menu

The General Menu allows you to configure defaults for the GUI format of storing and reporting the MARTe2 application configuration within the GUI.

General Options

  • Default Split View: Configure the default file format displayed in the split view.

  • File Extension: Configure the default file extension for storing GUI application configurations.

  • File Description: Configure the description associated with application files.

Remote Execution

The Remote Execution panel allows you to configure where test similations execute. The Password is stored in an encyrpted file but it is still not recommended to re-use other passwords for the passwords of remote runners.

Note

In order to execute simulations on remote systems you need a runner setup on that remote server, the firewall to allow incoming connections on these ports and a route available.

Note

To run a simulation locally you need WSL installed for windows with docker, for linux systems you just need docker installed.

Remote Options

  • Use remote server for test execution: Configures whether to run test simulations locally or on a remote server.

  • Remote Server: The IP address or hostname of the remote server for executing tests.

  • Remote HTTP Port: The HTTP port the server is configured to listen on.

  • Remote FTP Port: The FTP port the server is configured to host FTP on.

  • Remote Username + Password: The credentials the remote server is configured to allow.

  • Temporary Folder: The folder where test configurations are staged and if running locally, executed.

Compilation

Allows you to configure how types are compiled in the application from C++ libraries.

Compilation Options

  • Use remote server for compilation: Configures whether to run compilations locally or on a remote server.

  • Remote Server: The IP address or hostname of the remote server for compiling.

  • Remote HTTP Port: The HTTP port the server is configured to listen on.

  • Remote FTP Port: The FTP port the server is configured to host FTP on.

  • Remote Username + Password: The credentials the remote server is configured to allow.

  • Temporary Folder: The folder where compilation files are staged and if running locally, executed.

  • Compile for static executables: This is experimental and not yet implemented. It will be relevant in version 2 for whether to compile entire MARTe2 applications into static or shared builds.

Defaults

This panel allows you to configure the defaults for MARTe2 configurations.

Defaults Options

  • Default name for the TimingDataSource.

  • Default name for the GAMDataSource.

  • Default Scheduler:

    • FastScheduler

    • BareScheduler

    • GAMScheduler

  • Include HTTP Server Instance: Whether to include a HTTP WebService by default in MARTe2 applications.

  • HTTP Resources Folder: The default HTTP Resources folder to use.

Test Configuration

This panel allows you to configure the default values for a test configuration.

Test Options

  • Default Solver: This allows the user to configure the default solver. Only MARTe2 is currently available, in future versions python ODE will be made available alongside other options.

  • Max Cycles: The maximum number of iterations before a simulation completes execution and returns the results.

  • Execution Rate: The rate at which simulations should take place. Speeding this up could increase the speed to results but can lose data also.
