What to Calculate and how to Collect Statistics
The Output Menu is where you tell Visualyse which types of data to collect and which specific parameters to write into a log file.
Where the analysis you are performing is dynamic, data is collected in statistical form. At each time step or sample point the output data is recorded in a βbinβ of a histogram. Over time the histogram becomes the probability distribution for that data.
Visualyse Interplanetary will not by default record actual values of a parameter at each time step β this would require enormous amounts of memory. We do, however, have a log file option that allows you to select parameters for logging.
This is useful for post-processing and validation β normally the output from Visualyse Interplanetary is statistical information on Link parameters.
