I can get / set digital values easily, however i need to model some digital inputs based on the setting of digital outputs.

I don’t see the analog values in the Simulation-\>Event Manager Add … screen, only digital ones.

Is this at all feasible…

Laro88 - now on XP and no severe crashes yet 🙂

The event manager only supports analog station signals, not analog system signals.

Bugger, I have some external hardware that is controlled using an analog output, and a digital input that is the real world reports activity back based upon the state of the external hardware.

Hope you find time to integrate analog signals into the simulation. Meanwhile I will try to find a workaround.
