Hello!
This question was already discussed a little bit before, but there was no real "answer", so I ask again.
I have ADS2003 with Design Environment, Data Display and Linear Simualtor running on a Windows XP system.
Is it possible to execute a AEL command (or any other "actions") BEFORE and also AFTER the simulator starts? I have to get data from and to a SQL database system automatically when the simulator starts and ends. This will be done with an external EXE process.
I already thought about exchanging the simulator EXE file with a self-written, starting the external SQL process, then starting the simualator, and afterwards starting the post-SQL-process again, but I don't know if this works and also I think this is not the best solution. :-/
Best regards,
Martin.

if you are ok with this idea, then you can do this.
You could write an AEL script and create a custom menu. The end user has to be trained to now use this new script from the custom menu to run any simulation...
The AEL script could contain many commands at the beginning and then run an actual simulation, and then it may even be possible to do stuff post simulation..
pre_stuff()
de_analyze()
post_stuff()
Here is an example which does something like this.. You could probably modify it to satisfy your specs.
Thanks
