How to use the experimenter to see the impact of using TrafficControl?

How to use the experimenter to see the impact of using or not using the Traffic Control on waiting time and staytime in Qu?

I need to run an experiment on the traffic control to see the impact event of stop using the TrafficControl or doesn't work on one side?

I attached the file of flexSim to look around and understand my issue. It is Port and has two sides (one serve for ship and the other for barge), also, between NN9 and NN10 must be just one vessel at a time.

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.0.10

@jordan.johnson can you use the expiramenter to enable and disable network nodes on a traffic controller?

I don't know a good way to enable or disable the Traffic Controller in the experimenter. Consider the following workarounds:

You could copy and paste all the 3D objects in the model, and get two side-by-side systems working, where one uses the traffic controller, and the other does not.
You could run the experimenter on each model separately, then compare the results. It may be helpful to export the results to Excel or some other analysis tool.
