Recorder

Recorder is a background service that stores simulation data (messages published on the RTI), temporarily in memory or permanently in a database file, called the log. The log can then be used to play back messages, in real time, or faster or slower than recorded. Each log contains metadata such as which launch configuration, scenario and participants part of the session, as well as when and for how long. Logs can also contain bookmarks, manually or automatically created during the session, e.g. highlighting a significant point in time in a scenario.

Most of the action happens behind the scene. Recorder automatically discovers clients and channels to record. Interaction with the application is mainly done via the RTI control panel.

In evaluation mode, the Recorder is limited to in-memory recording only.

Installing

Download the package (Windows, MacOS or Linux). The install process is similar to that of the RTI.

Once installed, the Recorder runs as a background service on your computer, and you can use the RTI control panel to interact with it.
