Understanding the Difference Between Using the Data Exchanger and Using iSIGHT File Parsers

The Simcode component can use the iSIGHT File Parser or the Fast Parser instead of the Data Exchanger to read and write files.

For more information about setting this preference, see Setting Simcode Component Preferences.

The main difference between using the Simcode component over separate iSIGHT File Parser components is that the output file is of mode output when the iSIGHT File Parser component is used within the Simcode component, but the output file is of mode input when used standalone (this allows the output file to be mapped to other components downstream).

In addition, when using the Simcode component, the modes cannot be changed. Similarly, when using the Fast Parser component within the Simcode component, the modes cannot be changed.
