Scenario Manager Functionality

Scenarios in EasyPower are essentially macros. These macros are created by taking the differences between the temporary database file on which EasyPower is working, and the last saved database file. 

When EasyPower opens a database file (such as simple.dez), EasyPower makes a copy of that database file. All subsequent changes to the one-line are put in that copied (temporary) database file. For example, if you add a motor, that new motor is put in the temporary database file, not the saved database file. The saved database is not modified until you take action to save the temporary database file (by clicking Save on the Quick Access Toolbar or clicking File > Save from the menu). When that occurs, the temporary and saved databases match.

The process of storing a scenario can be described in two steps:

• It creates a macro which stores all the differences between the temporary database file and the saved database file
• It attaches the named macro to the temporary database file, not the saved database file.

Note: Storing a scenario does not automatically put the macro in the saved database. You must remember to perform a file save after storing the scenario to permanently save the scenario.
