Summary

This section summarizes the process to perform an experiment on SBHS using virtual lab interface. This section assumes that the user has already created an account and booked a slot as explained in section 1.1.1. It also assumes that the proxy settings are already done as explained in section 1.1.2. The user should follow these steps within the booked slot time.

• Step1: Open the StepTest experiment directory
• Step2: Double-click on the file run. Expect the SBHS cient application to open.
• Step3: Enter the username and password inside the SBHS cient application and press login button. Expect the message Ready to execute scilab code
• Step4: Switch to the StepTest experiment directory and double-click on the file stepc.sce. This will launch scilab and also open the file stepc.sce in the scilab editor. Linux users will have to launch scilab manually. They also have to change the working directory to StepTest and then open the stepc.sce file in the scilab editor.
• Step5 Switch to the scilab console and execute the command getd ..common_files
• Step6: Execute the file stepc.sce. Expect the step test xcos diagram to open automatically. If this doesnt happen, check the scilab console for error message.
• Step7: Execute the step test xcos daiagram. You may change the input parameters, if required, before executing. Expect a plot window to open automatically showing three graphs.
• Step8: Stop the Xcos simulation after the experiment is completed properly.
