Simulation mode

Simulation Mode can be launched either from a SAM600 system configuration or Hardware
Configuration context menu, see
Simulation Mode . When a SAM600 module is in simulation mode, the respective hardware
module in the PCM600 plant structure indicates this with orange coloring. The quality of the
effected streams will be set to good/substituted/test and the LEDs of the effected module
will start flashing.
Simulation Mode is applicable only for SAM600-VT and SAM600-CT.

In this state the SAM600 modules will simulate nominal analog values with the configured
transducer ratio settings per phase.

The local PC time is stored in the buffered clock of the SAM600-TS module. The
Set Time command forces the SAM600 system to restart. After restart, the
time information is distributed to all modules in the SAM600 system.
