IV. The Simulator

The Simulator integrated into the JControl/IDE allows the user to test his own projects in a sophisticated way without the need for a physical device. Since version 3.3 the JControl/IDE has been upgraded with a brand new integrated simulation environment (JControl/ISE).

Beside the fact that the simulator from now on no longer runs in an external window but directly inside the IDE, some great new features have been implemented:

•  Different simulation environments: Each project may have its own simulation environment, depending on the demands of the project.
  
•  Simulated signal flow: Now it's possible to simulate and visualize signal flow from and to the device's input and output connectors.
  
•  Extended simulated components: Additionally to the main JContol device, even components connected to the device, such as termometers, voltmeters, digital I/O components, voltage supply etc. can be simulated.
  

In this chapter you will learn more about using the new integrated simulation environment.
