How to Monitor and Inject Data with DIPanel

This guide walks through the core DIPanel workflow: connect to a CoreEngine, build a monitoring/injection list, and use its recording, reports, profiler, and state diagnostics.

1. Connect to a CoreEngine

Launch DIPanel and pick the target CoreEngine instance from the SimEng picker. This works identically for a local CoreEngine or one mirrored in through Reflector.

2. Build Your Monitoring List

• Use Add Elements to DI to pick the ICD elements you want to watch.
• Toggle Inject Raw / Eng per element to enable injecting raw or engineering-unit values into that element.
• Save the list to a .dinj file with Ctrl+S, and reload it later by dragging it back onto the panel.

3. Use the Editing Shortcuts

4. Visualize with Graphs and Images

Open any element in a live Graph or Image window. These same views also work against a played-back recording, so you can plot or step through recorded data after the fact.

5. Record and Play Back a Run

Use the Recording menu: Rec to start/stop capturing, Select to choose what to record, Play to replay a recording, and Open to load an existing recording file. See the Recording guide for the CoreEngine-side setup.

6. Diagnose with Reports, Profiler, and State Views

• Reports — live, filterable errors/warnings/info from the CoreEngine.
• Profiler — current/min/max/average timing per component.
• States Status — color-coded graphical view of every state controller's activity.
• Core States — a health table of Models (version, minor frame, active, priority, cores) and Drivers (version, active OK/Fail, last error).
