6 Apollo Simulator
6.1 Introduction
The Apollo Simulator is the Apollo Control system software cross-compiled to run on a Windows PC. This
software is enhanced by adding the ability to simulate the conditions in the pumping system, including
simulations of the variable speed drive and its inputs, the downhole conditions, and inputs to the Apollo I/O
expansion board.
The installation of Apollo Version 3 simulator will not interfere with the installation of your version
2 simulator. Although both versions can be installed, it is not recommended to run more than
1 simulator at once.
