On-line/Off-line Simulation

|---|---|
| Off-line simulation |
 In the off-line simulation mode, the PC will create a memory block for all registers of the device/server used in the application. The simulator will communicate with the memory on the PC, so there will never be a communication error generated with the off-line simulator. Off-line simulation is good for screen visual effects, object operation, and logic verification. |
| On-line simulation |
 The on-line simulator is similar to the off-line simulator except that the PC tries to communicate with the device/server instead of the created virtual registers in its memory. On-line simulator is used to troubleshoot communication problems. |
