Simulating an Application

To simulate an application, you can do the following:

  1. The application must be saved and compiled before the simulator can start.

  2. Using the software:
    In the menu bar, click Tools to bring up the Tools sub-menu. Click Run Off-line Simulation…in the Panel sub-menu.
    Alternatively, click the Run Off-line Simulation icon in the main toolbar.

    Using PanelSim.exe, an independent executable program:
    Click Start -> All Programs -> ”The software” -> PanelSim

  3. In the PanelSim startup dialog, click Run button to start simulation

Note: When simulating an application in the software, the above dialog will show up and then close automatically before the simulation starts. In this case, ignore the dialog.

  1. Simulate the application in the simulator window. The simulator window is similar in appearance to the target panel. The following is an example of the simulator window while running the application.
