and the online help.
Note
We recommend that you work through the sample configuration
SCOUT . This is a series of guided steps which teaches you how to work with SIMOTION
SCOUT. For example, how to create, compile, and save a project, insert a SIMOTION device,
insert and assign parameters for a technology object, and create a program.
When you have worked through all these steps, you will be able to create more complex
projects.
Getting Started is available in two versions with different scopes, as a print document and in
the online help.
Note
It is not recommended that you open one SIMOTION SCOUT project twice. This application
case can result in malfunctions and is not supported by SIMOTION SCOUT. If you want to
open two different projects, you must open SIMOTION SCOUT twice.
