The user has a question about the output of the dashboard.
Take the case where "Transporter 1" carries items from "Queue 2" to "Queue 4" as in the attached model "model.fsm". What time and minute did "Transporter 1" pick up the flow items in "Queue 2"? Also, is it possible to express on the dashboard the time that the flow item is carried to "Queue 4"?

Excuse me. Confirmation was delayed due to other work.
We will check the contents and reply.
You can use a Statistics Collector to listen to the Transporter "On Load" and "On Unload".
The Stats Collector can then record the Time, Transporter, Object, and Station for each occurrence. (The table shown below isn't complete, but it gives you an idea.)
If you need to manipulate the data in any way, a Calculated Table can be used to parse through and iron out whatever you might need. For example, you could select only the data points with a Station value of "Queue4". I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Sorry for the late reply.
I tried using Statistics Collector with the attached model "model_v01.fsm". I want to record and display the objects and stations as advised, but it doesn't work.
Also, is it possible to display the time for each occurrence in terms of date and time instead of seconds?
Please use Ver.19 as the saved data format.
I apologize, but I don't have 19.0 on my machine at this time. I can walk you through how to achieve the results that I demonstrated above, though. Here's what you can do, starting from where your model is currently:
1) Change the Display Format to Date / Time and the Value to "Model.dateTime" for the Time Column:
2) Change the Storage Type for the Station column to "String":
3) Change the Storage Type for the Item column to "String" and add "data.item" as the Value:
I think you had things set up really well to begin with. It just takes a couple minor alterations to get this to work. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm sorry I don't have version 19.0 to update this, but I think it will be beneficial to go through the process of setting it up.
