Sending & Recieving Text


At times, you may want to send commands or data to your controller, and view messages from your controller as it executes. You can use standard I/O streams from your control code to do this; in this case use the DOS prompt or the Unix terminal window you started the simulator from. This can be rather messy since many users may not have a large enough desktop to display both windows. The alternative is to use the text input/output panel on the interface. (See the MessagePasser class in the API help).
