This area contains settings related to dependent files and folders:
Version: Select the FORTRAN compiler to be used for compilation of projects. If you have more than one compiler installed, you may freely switch between compilers without having to restart PSCAD or reload the project (provided they are compatible of course). See the section entitled FORTRAN Compilers in the Getting Started brochure for a list of compatible FORTRAN compilers.
Number Format (Locale): Setting this option to Use English (USA) number format can eliminate runtime errors where the default number format does not use periods as decimal points.
Version: If you intend to make use of the MATLAB/Simulink interface, then choose which version of MATLAB you will be using in this field.
Configuration File: Selects the MATLAB information file. This file includes configuration information about compatible versions.
NOTE: Enabling the MATLAB/ Simulink interface is also a project-specific option. See the section entitled Link for more details.
Master Library: The master library is used to support core operations and provide model interfacing with the build in simulation.
User Libraries Folder: The path entered here is automatically appended to files entered into the Additional Library (*.lib) and Object (*.obj/*.o) Files input field in the Project Settings dialog.
Local Help: This option sets the path to the local help system included with your PSCAD software.
Online Help: This option sets the web URL for the web-based help system.
Examples Folder: Enter a default directory path to the folder containing the example projects included with the released software. By default, this path will be set to where the example cases placed during installation. This path is referred to when loading a case and selecting the Examples option. See Ribbon Control Bar for more details.
Custom Help Folder: Enter a path to a specific folder that will be used to house all custom component help files (*.html). If left blank, it will be assumed that the custom files will be located in the folder corresponding to the project where the component definition is defined.
