How to tell if the simulation is being run by the user or the experimenter

I have a trigger that will execute at the end of the simulation run and display a message and stop the model for the user. However, if the simulation is being executed by the experimenter then I do not want to stop the model or display the message. Is there a variable, function call, or other method that I can use to tell if the simulation is being run by the user or the experimenter?

Thanks,

Brandon

The view tree isn't loaded in an experiment run so you could check if it's there:

if(objectexists(node("VIEW:/active")))

You could use the Start of Replication trigger (on the Advanced tab of the Experimenter) to set a value on a node or in a table. You can then check that value later to determine whether you are in an experiment.
