How to script flamejets with the Mongoose System and FWsim

The Mongoose System is able to control flamejets via electrical firing impulses. Pins can be switched on for variable amounts of times, and these pins can be triggered again later.

  1. Make sure you use FWsim version 3.5.1 or later
  2. Make sure you have the Mongoose Editor version 6.2.0.0 or later.
  3. In FWsim, create flamejets, and select “Channel on Firing System” as your export mode.
  4. When you export a Mongoose script file, it will include a “dwell time” for the flamejets.

Please note: For the “dwell time”, the Mongoose Editor uses system-specific decimal separators. For example: If you have a dwell time of 5 seconds and 100 ms, then on US computers, the Mongoose software expects “5.1”. On German computers, where the system decimal separator is “,”, the Mongoose software expects “5,1” in the file. This is not a problem if you just work on one computer. However, if you transfer the file to a colleague with different language settings on their computer, you might get an error during Mongoose Editor import.
