change value variable in state diagram during simu

[blabla]

Hi
I want to change the variable in a state diagramm during the simulation.
For example I have a external input, which delivers the values of a variable. May be a sensor signal for velocity.
So my Problem is to get in the data and change the state if the value is mor than 2 m/s.

The input is maybe given in a excel sheet. To make a statemodel is not the problem. The Problem is to get use the data of the excel sheet as a variable.

Does someone know what the simulationtime in EA is? Like in Matlab simulink you have solvers fix-step or variable-step.

You'll need to create an ActiveX object to read the spreadsheet. There's an example in the help about creating an ActiveX object in a simulation.

Do you know may be the name or the path of the example.
I didn't found it

Do I nee Visual Studio for that?
