RandomSeed Function

Seeds the random number generator with the optional seed value, or the time if seed value is excluded, so that the sequence of random numbers is different every time a test is run. If you don't use this function the Random function will return the same sequence of random numbers for every simulation run. This is good for debugging a problem, but not usually a desired outcome.

Note: Best to use in the Before Simulation script, so it is run just once at the start of the test.

Syntax

value = RandomSeed( [ seedValue ] )

iParameters

Examples

' Seeds the random number generator with the time. Returns the value used.

seedValue = RandomSeed        

' Seeds the random number generator with the current parameter test

RandomSeed( test.currentParameterTest )
