Model List

Using the Model

After saving the *.tar.gz file to disk, type tar -zxvf <name>.tar.gz to uncompress and extract. A directory called <name> will be created which contains:

• the model source file <name>.mps in XML format,
• any add-on code packages required to run the model,
• a doc/ directory with documentation files in HTML format.

Inside the ProtoCollum tool:

• First use the File>Manage Packages... window to load all add-on code packages that came with the distribution. Press Find button in the Manage Packages pop-up window to browse for the add-on packages (ex: stc, i802).
  (NOTE: All packages in the directory will be automatically loaded and seen in the Available list once any one package is selected.)
• Then use the File>Open... menu option to load the <name>.mps file.
  (NOTE: The 802.11 model is quite large and may take up to one minute to load.)
• As the model is loaded the test sheets will be executed (simulated). Messages from the simulation may appear in the Command Results pane. For example, the 802.11 model has a number of test sheets which model error conditions, so a number of messages about the errors will be seen.
