The Playback view records in-flowing data to a playback file, and plays the captured data back into a running Event Stream Processor instance. You can also use it in place of the File Upload tool to upload data files at a controlled rate. All date and time stamps within the Playback view are assumed to be in UTC.

---|---|
Full rate | Full rate indicates that the speed of playback is not imposed by ESP Studio. Full rate is dependent on factors such as the computer that is running ESP Studio, or network latency. |
Timestamp column | The Timestamp column option tells the recorded file to play back using the timing rate information from a specified column. You must complete the Timestamp column to use it. During playback, timestamps determine the time interval between records. When using the Timestamp column, you can select Use Recorded Time to change the project runtime to the time the data was recorded. Select Timestamp column, check Use Recorded time, and enter a column name in the Timestamp Column field. To return to current time, restart the project. |
Rec/ms | The records-per-millisecond (rec/ms) mode lets playback occur at a records per millisecond rate. The option allows you to set an initial rec/ms rate that you can then modify using the At timestamp rate slider tool. |
Regardless of file type, each record in the file must start with the input stream or window name in the first field, followed by the opcode in the second field, followed by the actual contents of the record in the remaining fields.
