Copyright IXSEA 2011


Installation:
-------------

1) Download and Install Java Run Time Environment (JRE) from Oracle web site: 

http://www.java.com/fr/download/

2) Before first application start, copy serial port management dll.

Serial port dll are located into:
- /lib/32 for 32bits java
- /lib/34 for 64bits java

Depending on the java used (32/64 bits), copy the corresponding dll to:
/programmes/java/jreX/bin/

Where:
/programmes/ is the programmes files directory
/jreX/ is the java jre used

3) Double ckick on GenericSimulator.jar to run the application. If windows asks which
program should be used to open .jar files, select C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.



Usage:
------

1) From Outputs panel, configure the output(s) you want to use:
	- Select output protocol
	- Select Flow type (Ethernet or Serial)
	- Select output rate (0.1 to 10Hz)
	- Specify Ethernet or serial output parameters (baudrates, tcp/udp port and addresses)

2) From Protocols panel, select telegrams that should be activated for each output 
	that was configured in output panel. This panel can also be used to specify sensors
	Id in case of a multiple sensor configuration

3) From Sensor panels, enter the simulated values that should be generated for each 
	used sensor.

4) From Control panel, use connect/disconnect buttons to enable/disable configured output flows.

5) Simulated values in sensor panels can be modified while simulation is running

6) Output data flow can be monitored in Display panel to check generated frame formats.
