Description:
- Loads a Cell Illustrator log file for replaying and analysis
- A log file has an extension .cil and it is created in the folder [project name].output, where [project name] is the name of the Cell Illustrator model file. For example, logs for the Cell Illustrator Apoptosis.gon sample project are kept in the Apoptosis.output subfolder in the folder where the Apoptosis.gon file is located.
- It may be impossible to load a log with millions of simulation steps as a whole into the RAM memory of your machine. In case of a large log, a warning dialog appears as in the example below:
This dialog offers three choices for handling the log:
o You can try to load the whole log to RAM. CI Player approximates the memory requirements but it is very difficult to provide accurate estimates. If loading the whole log fails, less memory consuming options should be used.
o Create a swap file on your hard disk for the logged data. If many variables were logged, this option significantly reduces RAM requirements at the cost of slightly decreased performance of a replay process.
o Load a part of the log into the CI Player. You can specify the range of simulation steps to load. Also, you can sample the log by loading to the memory only each n-th value of the time series. With a swap file for the log on a disk, CI Player still requires some RAM for keeping indexes and this option may fail for logs with many variables and millions of steps. Then, loading a part of the log would be your only choice.
- It is not possible to open the same file twice. If the user attempts to open a file that is already opened, then the canvas window of that file is activated and displayed in the foreground.
- CTRL+O is the keystroke shortcut for this command.
Constraints:
- You can not execute this command if a replay process is running.
