Follow the tutorial steps described in Chapter 4 for further verification of operation.'
Note
The 'APT Config' utility can be used to set up simulated hardware
configurations and place the APT Server into simulator mode. In this way
it is possible to create any number and type of simulated (virtual)
hardware units in order to emulate a set of real hardware. This is a
particularly useful feature, designed as an aid to application program
development and testing. Any number of 'virtual' control units are
combined to build a model of the real system, which can then be used to
test the application software offline. If using real hardware, ensure that
Simulator Mode is disabled. If using a simulated setup, enable Simulator
Mode and set up a 'Simulated Configuration' - see Section 5.8. or the
APTConfig helpfile for detailed instructions.
