Starting the MK8000 Server in Simulation mode
In the Advanced menu, you can start the MK8000 server in simulation mode. This
mode results in starting an additional application (Field Simulator), which allows
generating messages as though they were coming from the fire and intrusion con-
trol units in the field.
The Field Simulator (Fig. 90) presents a user interface quite similar to the Testing
Client application (e.g. see Fig. 70).
A tree structure on the left pane (Fig. 90-A) allows for selecting the field objects.
When an object is selected, the corresponding properties are listed in the top right
pane (Fig. 90-B). In this list, clicking the 'Value' field and picking up one the condi-
tions allows for modifying the property state, thus simulating a field message gen-
erated by the control unit.
The pane at the bottom right (Fig. 90-C) presents the simulation logging, where all
messages are registered.
