Run Playback


Once you have loaded your run, you can play it back as a simulation, to open the Real Time Playback Controls, go to Results > Realtime Playback Controls or click the button. The Realtime Playback Controls effectively allows you to play back the .RUN files in "real time". Essentially, all this does is "clicks" each point of the data, highlighting it, and displays it on all the linked windows. The controls are as follows:

On the left are the selection boxes for the markers. If there is no tick on a row, then it will not be displayed. The rows are colour co-ordinated to match the colours of the markers displayed on the track maps and graphs. The drop down menu allows you to select which .RUN file you want the controls to play back. The gray coloured numbers to the left of the controls shows the current time for that marker.

Next come the playback controls. The controls are as follows:

Rewind to previous marker: Once you've set up your track markers, this will skip back to the first marker it meets around the track going back through the run.
Rewind: This plays the run backwards from the current time in the black box on the Realtime Playback Controls window at a 2:1 ratio, i.e. 2 seconds played in every one. If you are all ready rewinding, and you click the button a second time, it will double the rewind speed. i.e. 1 click plays backwards at 2:1, 2 clicks plays backwards at 4:1, 3 clicks plays backwards at 8:1.
Pause: This freezes the playback at it's current location through the run.
Quarter speed playback: This plays the .RUN file at a 1:4 ratio (this speed can be changed from the options), i.e. one second of logged data takes 4 seconds to play back.
Step backward: Pause the video and jump back to the previous 1/100 th of a second. (this step size can be changed from the options)
Play: Plays back the run at a 1:1 speed ratio.
Step forward: Pause the video and jump to the next 1/100 th of a second. (this step size can be changed from the options)
Fast Forward: If the run playback is paused, then this will take the playback to a 2:1 ratio, each additional click of the fast forward will double the playback ratio. This means that if the run is being played back at 1:1 it will fast forward to 2:1. If you have clicked the Quarter speed playback button, then it will double from 1:4 to 1:2, then to 1:1.
Fast Forward to next marker: This jumps to the next track marker the playback marker would meet as it goes through the run.

The next box allows you to enter a time in, so that you can jump the track marker to it by clicking the Jump To Time button, .
