CHAPTER 27 / 33

Read power, motion, and engineering reports

Interpret measurements and export the evidence from a run.

Experiments run your current controller against the supported model and your chosen thresholds. Export the result to retain its assumptions and trace. View full size ↗
MeasurementInterpretation
Voltage / current / powerShared battery-terminal behavior and nominal connected loads in the supported model. Power is terminal V × I.
State of chargeModeled fraction of pack charge remaining, shown as a percentage in the interface.
Energy WhCumulative chemical energy removed, including modeled battery internal-resistance loss. It is not remaining usable energy.
Speed / distance / yawMotion of the supported compound mobile-robot body.
Motor current / torque / temperatureBehavioral drive-motor values, with lumped copper-heating temperature rather than a full thermal simulation.
Range / IMU / encodersWiring-gated observations. Unavailable values are distinct from a valid zero reading.
FaultsProtection, connectivity, or scenario conditions that can explain stopped or unavailable behavior.

Charts retain recent samples, not an unlimited recording of every physics substep. After a meaningful run, choose Report in Test bench. The JSON report includes the project configuration, per-instance bill of materials, fidelity/source labels, diagnostics, environment conditions, recent measurements, scenario results, AI timing records, and limitations.

A report exported before running can have no measurement. A report after an edit reflects the new design with cleared runtime observations. Estimated component prices are generic planning values, not live quotations. Export the project JSON alongside the report if you want a clear reopenable design backup.
