9.3.2 Simulation Mode
If the opening window cannot detect the presence of FWD hardware, you can still run the
system in Simulation Mode.
Simulation mode allows the user to run FwdWin even when the equipment is not connected.
In this mode artificial data is fed into the program at the appropriate times to create the
appearance that an FWD/HWD is actually connected.
Simulation mode is useful for training purposes. Using simulation mode, an instructor can
conduct classroom training with one or more computers and operators (no hardware is
needed). The operator can also “practice” running the equipment in the office.
In simulation mode you can use Ctrl + P to toggle the PARK state.
9.3.3 Entering the Main Program
Once everything in the “Dynatest Data Collection” screen is configured, the user may click
the “Start” button (choose “Administrator” first). The data collection screen should now
appear. The user can now complete the setup process.
