evaluation.  The test time is used to run each
preset test, then GAF samples the score result for
the specified number of times.  The preset
evaluation result will be the average of all
samples, and the final result will be the average of
all preset cycles.  For example, if the test time is
two seconds and the number of samples is 4 (with 0.1
sample rate), the total time for a preset cycle will
be 2.3 seconds.  See "Setup Evaluation Module" for
how to define evaluation result.

The following interactive interfaces are supported
in adapt mode.
  C     : continue
  Alt-C : switch to continuous mode
  Alt-P : turn on iteration pause
  Alt-A : turn on preset cycle pause
  Alt-Q : quit the program
  cursor keys to scroll up, down, right, and left of
        text window
  All other keys will halt adapting temporary.

@Change Simulation Parameters
The control menu allows user to change the control
and simulation environment.  Currently only
following functions are supported.

Real time mode
Simulated time mode
Sim-schedule mode
  As we mentioned, there are four different time
  modes: real time mode, simulated time mode, sim-
  schedule mode, and 24 hours clock mode.  The real
  time mode uses actual system clock (computer clock)
  for scheduling the segments.  This is the best way
  to tell whether you can use the development system,
  with the display mode, for online control or not. 
  This mode is the only allowed mode for running in the
  control mode.  The following is an example of how
  real time mode scheduling a three segments system
  with 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 cycle time.  Assume that each
  segment takes 0.05 second to run.  GAF scheduling
  table will be:
        #   Time  Seg 1 Seg 2 Seg 3
      ----  ----  ----- ----- -----
        1   0.00    Run   Run   Run
        2   0.15    Run   ---   ---
        3   0.20    ---   Run   ---
        4   0.25    Run   ---   ---
        5   0.30    ---   ---   Run

  Instead of using real system time, the simulated
  time mode uses fixed time interval to simulate the
  schedule rate for the system.  For example if the
  user specified schedule interval is 0.1 second.
  Then the above scheduling table will be:
        #   Time  Seg 1 Seg 2 Seg 3
      ----  ----  ----- ----- -----
        1   0.0   Run   Run   Run
        2   0.1   Run   ---   ---
        3   0.2   Run   Run   ---
        4   0.3   Run   ---   Run
        5   0.4   Run   Run   ---

  The sim-schedule mode resembles to the simulated
  time mode, except that it does not use the cycle
  time of each segment for scheduling.  Instead the
  sim-schedule mode uses the schedule rate for all
  segments, i.e. runs all segments all the time. 
  Therefor, the scheduleing table will be:
        #   Time  Seg 1 Seg 2 Seg 3
      ----  ----  ----- ----- -----
        1   0.0   Run   Run   Run
        2   0.1   Run   Run   Run
        3   0.2   Run   Run   Run
        4   0.3   Run   Run   Run
        5   0.4   Run   Run   Run

Set simulated schedule rate
  Use this option to set desired time interval in
  seconds for either simulated time mode or sim-
  schedule mode.

Simulated clock mode
  The simulated clock mode is a variation of sim-
  schedule mode.  This mode allows user to simulate 24
  hours clock within a single plot frame.

Set increment/decrement value
  As mentioned, an easy way to change the simulated
  schedule rate is to use the '+' and '-' keys to
  increase and decrease the schedule rate.  This
  option allows user to set the amount of
  increasing/decreasing, the default value is 0.005
  second.

@Change segment and value
The segment menu offers user three major
functions:
    Select a segment for display or for actions
    Change/modify the segment
    Control/change the display of the segment

Select segment
  Use this option to select a segment.  The default
  selected segment is the first segment (the segment
  0).  The selected segment is displayed in the
  display window and title window.

Change cycle time
  Change the cycle time for the selected segment. 
  Note that the real cycle time may depend on the
  running mode and time mode been selected.

Set input value
Set output value
Set local variable value
  These options allow user to manually set a
  variable's value.  After select one of these
  options, GAF popups a window with all available
  variable names alone with their variable number. 
  Select a variable, GAF then requests for new value. 
  Enter the new desired value will close all windows. 
  Note that you can use F7 to reset the system, see
  function key for detail.

Set output gain
  Use this selection to change the gain of selected
  output.  Again, just like setting variable value, GAF
  asks for output variable and then the new gain
  value.

Enable rule
Disable rule
  GAF allows you to enable or disable the rule(s) in
  any of the running modes.  The disabled rules are
  marked with 'x' at the first column in text window. 
  Select one of these options, GAF then highlights the
  first rule at the second column in text window.  Use
  cursor keys to move highlighted cursor and then
  press 'Enter' to enable or disable the rule.

Enable all rules
  This option gives user an easy way to enable all
  rules.

Select output to display result
  After changing the Display window's arrangement,
  i.e. selecting whole display or no plot mode, use
  this option to select the desired output you want to
  display.  GAF automatically selects the first output
  for displaying.

Select rule for firing window
  The above option (P) allows user to specify the
  output to display, this allows user to select
  rule(s) to be displayed with its detail inferencing
  in firing window.  When select this option, just
  like disable/enable rule, GAF uses the text window
  for selecting menu.  Note that selected rules are
  marked with 'x'.

Combined result only
  When this option is selected, GAF deselects all
  rules from displaying its inference (firing window). 
  So only the combined result will be displayed.

@Arrange Display Windows
The display menu allows user to arrange and select
the screen layout, text font, and color of the
screen display.  In future version, GAF will also
allow user to put all these features in a
configuration file, which will be read in at
initialization.

Use standard font
Use small font
  With these two options, you can switch between
  normal text display or small font text display.

Select normal display mode
  The normal display mode displays the text window on
  the left portion of the display window and the plot
  window on the right.  See window split for changing
  the size of text window.

Select whole display mode
  In this mode the text window still occupies the left
  portion, but the right portion of the display window
  splits into two parts, the upper half shows the plot
  window, and the lower half displays the combined
  result and firing window.  See "Change Segment and
  Value" for more information about selecting rules
  and outputs.  See window split for changing size of
  text window.

Select plot only mode
  This option allows you to see only the plot.  GAF
  dedicates the entire display window to plot sub-
  window except reduces the text window to only first
  two columns on the left.

Select no plot mode
  This display mode removes plot window from the
  right portion.  So the combined result and firing
  window are displayed on the right along with text
  window on the left.

Select text only mode
  This mode shows the text window only.  Because
  graphics, trend plot draw result, and draw firing
  condition, takes much of CPU time, this mode allows
  you to speed up the test or control.

Set plot duration
  The default plot frame period is five seconds
  (except in auto clock mode).  Use this option to
  change the frame duration, the value is specified in
  seconds.

Change to color/mono display
  Use this option to switch between color and mono
  mode.

Window split (Change size of text window)
  Allows user to change the size of the text window to
  fit application.  The value is specified in percent,
  i.e. 60 means that text window occupies 60% of the
  display window.  If the value is greater than 90, GAF
  automatically switches to text only mode.  If the
  value is less than 10, GAF shuts text window off
  (except the left most two columns).

Display local variable
  The default display mode is to display/plot IN, OUT,
  and INOUT variables. The LOCAL variables are not
  displayed.  Use this option to enable LOCAL
  variables.

Change menu and highlight color
  These options allow user to modify some of the
  color attributes.  The next version will have more
  user control of the screen colors with a
  configuration file.

@Setup adapt environment
The adapt menu is used to change the overall
environment for genetic adaptation.  See topic
"Control Genetic Algorithm" for more information
about controlling the genetic algorithm.

Continuous mode
  Set the adaptation to continuous mode without
  pause or delay, unless user interferes.

Iteration pause
Pause per cycle
  These two options allow user to halt the adapting
  process in order to examine it.  The iteration pause
  is to halt at the end of each iteration.  The preset
  pause is to halt at the end of each preset cycle. 
  Type 'C' to continue, press Alt-C to switch back to
  continuous mode.

Number of samples
  Specifies number of samples should be taken for
  calculating each preset test's evaluation result.

Max best items
  The number of items kept in the best list.  The limit
  of this value is 1 to 10.

Max iteration
  This allows user to specify the number of
  iterations.  GAF stops after this number of
  iterations is reached.  If the value is less than or
  equal to 0, there be no limit.

Test time
  As explained the test time is the time for each
  preset test before evaluate the result.  Use this
  to set the proper value, in general it should be
  greater than the rising time for the longest
  response in all preset tests.

Iteration delay
Cycle delay
  Instead pause for each iteration/preset cycle,
  users can specify time delay between iterations or
  preset cycles.  Zero value means continuous.

Minimum score
  This value defines the minimum score for a
  successful preset test cycle.  GAF tries to go
  through all preset tests, but stops after any
  preset test failed to score the minimum value.  The
  default value is 0.6.

Adapt segment
  Use this option to change the segment you want to
  adapt.  The name of the selected adapt segment is
  shown on the next line.  Note that the selected
  adapt segment may not be the same as the selected
  display segment.

Use best list
Use original segment
  The first option allows user to pick one adaptation
  out of the best list and then switch to simulation
  mode for testing or debugging.  The "Use original
  segment" option allows user to switch back to the
  original segment, which is loaded from the file.
