SIMULATION MANAGER SOFTWARE
Document performance and capture data with the Simulation Manager.
If you want to accurately document the performance of multiple operators in a secure way or capture data from multiple simulators in a single location, you will need the Simulation Manager.
Simulation Manager Software
When used on a stand-alone basis, personal simulators save simulation results data as files on your PC - a separate file for each simulator session. Files are tagged with a date and time, but not a person's name. These files are also accessible by anyone working on that computer.
If you want to accurately document the performance of multiple operators in a secure way or capture data from multiple simulators in a single location, you will need the Simulation Manager. Using the Simulation Manager, you can:
-
Create a unique user name and password for each user of the simulator.
-
Save all simulation results in a database, with performance data indexed by user. This is especially helpful in a simulator lab, where the data generated by each simulator needs to be saved in a single database file.
-
Restrict access to simulation results by assigning users to categories such as students, instructors and administrators. For example, a student can only view his or her simulator results, while an instructor can review the results of all students.
-
Group users into "classes." In this way, if you are using the same PC to host several simulators, you can authorize different classes to use different simulators.
-
Secure the use of the simulator. Only people with valid user names and passwords can use the simulator.
-
Enable people off-site to review the simulation results, using a free file viewer.
Each simulator operates by default in a single-user mode, but multi-user mode can be enabled using a special unlock key.
SUMMARY OF SINGLE - VS. MULTI-USER MODES
With simulation manager,
simulators in multi-user mode
-
Thanks to your user account login name and password, the Personal Simulator "knows" who you are.
-
All simulation results are saved as entries in the same database, indexed by user.
-
Off-site monitoring of simulation results is easy. Just have the onsite people pass along the single database file, and then use a free file viewer to browse that database.
-
Simulation results are confidential. For example, a Student user can only review his/her simulation results, but an Instructor can review the simulation results of all the Students.
-
Simulator use is secure. Only people with valid login names and passwords can use the simulator.
​No simulation manager,
simulators in single-user mode
-
The Personal Simulator does not know who you are.
-
Simulation results are saved in the form of individual files with just the date and time.
-
Off-site monitoring of simulation results is difficult. The onsite people must pass along all the results files, and each one must be viewed individually using a web browser.
-
Anyone can review anyone's simulation results by browsing the Results files.
-
Anyone can use the simulator.
