Implementation Details
The element Probe is used to store the data in which port it connected to. When the simulation output option of the ROOT element is set to “csv”, the probe element saves the data to an csv file with the header, which is the description and property of the data, and the data values.
The attached example file shows the usage for this element.
The following is the figure shows the system in the example:
When you run the simulation, a folder with the same name of the INTERCONNECT file will be generated and an csv file will be created. The csv file is named as the element name plus the port name which is connected to the probe, please see the file sine_1_output.csv for example.
