LightTests

Quick howto for automated light test series

1. provide a "automation.xml" file with exactly that name. It must reside in the "Home"-Directory of the project, usually the directory containing the projectfile.

1. the automation.xml file contains something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<automation>
<!-- simple "multirun".
when clicking on the "execute many stands" button on the "testing" tab, then:
* the "stands"-file is read - this should contain a return-separated list of filenames without path.
* each file of the list is read from directory "inputpath", trees are loaded, and a stamp/read-cycle performed
* in "outputpath" a .csv style treelist-file is generated (name scheme: out_$infile$.csv).
-->
<outputpath>E:\Daten\iLand\Light\stands\output</outputpath>
<inputpath>E:\Daten\iLand\Light\stands</inputpath>
<stands>E:\Daten\iLand\Light\stands\standlist.txt</stands>
</automation>

1. load iLand with a "normal" project file

• check: in model.settings "growthEnabled" should be false
• usually preferable: 100x100m, "torus"=true

1. start the test run

• type "test" in "Aggregate Expression" and hit enter,
• choose test 4 (multiple run)
