Installation & Operating System
What are the system requirements for acslXtreme? How do I confirm that I have the latest updates for my operating system? Why can't I install acslXtreme? How do I get my HostID? How do I get a license file for acslXtreme or acslXpress. Where does the license file (license-nnnnnnn.lic) need to be saved? acslXtreme can’t find the license file, but I saved the license file to the installation directory. I deleted my license, how do I get a new copy of my license file? I get the following error when starting acslXtreme; License error detected, Error Value -10, Feature has expired. Is there documentation for FlexLM?
User Interface
How do I switch between multiple projects in one workspace? How can I make my model run faster? I keep getting an error when I entering simulation control commands. How do I restore my workspace to the original state?
Plotting
How can the run-time plots be disabled? I get the following error in the command window when I try to open a plot block in my block diagram window: plot ($_INDEPENDENT_VAR$,$ i1$,$ INDEPENDENT_VAR$,$_i2$,$PLOT_SETTINGS_FILE_NAME$) ^ syntax error
Block Diagram
How do you Cut, Copy or Paste (Ctrl-X, C, and V) in the block diagram window? When connecting an input port directly to an output port within a compound block, the data may become inaccessible (e.g. cannot plot or list). How do I change a global constant in a block diagram model?
External Subroutines
Why am I getting the bad data when using my old FORTRAN subroutines? My old CSL file had the FORTRAN code added to the end of the file. What do I need to do to have it work with acslXtreme?
Analysis Mode
How can I quickly learn about acslXtreme's analysis language?
Migration Issues
In our current models, we need to have the Translator and Runtime Table Sizes set at 2,000,000 as well as double precision. How are these set in acslXtreme? We have legacy CSL codes which are in FORTRAN format. Are we confined to use a FORTRAN compiler? Will the code be translated to C in the future? Will existing ACSL models be compatible with acslXtreme? Will the models still be developed in the Graphic Modeler? Will Compaq Visual Fortran version 6.5 or 6.6 be compatible with acslXtreme? Is there a limit on the size of models? What CSL commands are no longer supported? How were ACSL SIM and ACSL MATH integrated? What are the changes to the ACSL SIM command language and the ACSL MATH scripting language?
Documentation
Where can I find the documentation? What do I do if I can’t read pdf files?
