This property returns the number of Actors created so far.


Example


% Create DSS object

DSSObject = actxserver('OpenDSSEngine.DSS')

if ~DSSObject.Start(0),

                    disp('Unable to start openDSS');

                    return

end;

DSSCircuit = DSSObject.ActiveCircuit;

% Handler for Parallel processing functions

% Gets the number of CPUs this PC has

CPUs = DSSParallel.NumCPUs;    

% By default one actor is created, if you want more than one

% parallel instance you will have to create them. Try to leave at least

% One CPU available to handle the rest of windows, otherwise will block everything
