Parameters

after

Takes an IMMTracedElements object

newlyEnergizedElements

An IMMTracedElements object containing a collection of elements that have been energized

newlyDeEnergizedElements

An IMMTracedElements object containing a collection of elements that have been de-energized

differentlyEnergizedElements

An IMMTracedElementDeltas object containing a collection of elements that have been energized on a different phase

This method allows you to analyze the differences between two traces. For example, you may perform a TraceDownstream with connectivity and switching in the normal state. Preserve the resulting IMMTracedElements collections for junctions and edges in a variable. Execute some sort of disturbance in the network. For example, you do some as simple as opening a fuse, or do it up right and take out a few circuit breakers (it's okay no one will get hurt).

Once you've modified the network, perform a second TraceDownstream with connectivity and switching in the post-disturbance state. Now, call the Diff method on the "before" trace, passing in the results of the "after" trace to the after argument. The Diff method returns information about the differences between the before and after traces as an IMMTracedElementDeltas object.
