The Control Panel

The Control Panel allows you to change internal settings that govern the operation of Vensim, such as which Workbench Variable is selected or what Datasets are loaded. Open the Control Panel by clicking on the Control Panel button on the Toolbar or by selecting the menu item Windows>Control Panel. The Control Panel groups controls in six tabbed folders (five in Vensim PLE and PLE Plus). Select a particular control by clicking on the appropriate tab at the top of the window.

·                Variable allows you to choose a variable in your model and select it as the Workbench Variable.

·                Time Axis allows you to change or focus the period of time over which Analysis tools operate.

·                Scaling enables you to change the scales of output graphs.

·                Datasets allows you to manipulate the stored datasets (runs).

·                Graphs brings up the Custom Graph Control.

·                Placeholders is a control that sets Placeholder Values (Not PLE or PLE Plus, see the Reference Manual).
