Autonomous Underwater Vehicles : Running and Testing AUV Linux This page last changed on Jul 17, 2008 by tm. ##### Simulation The SimulatedTailCone can be launched in its own process, called "simtail". The tailcone application takes the option "-sim", which tells the tailcone to forward commands to the simulator after actuating the tailcone device. Recall that a "processes" configuration file is now specified to supervisor at startup; supervisor will first launch the vehicleCore process, then any processes specified in the process configuration file. To run a simulation using the simulated tailcone, your processes file should look like this: # Run simulator application simulator # Launch simulated tailcone service simtail To run simulation with the real tailcone in the loop, your process file should look like this: # Run simulator application simulator # Run the real tailcone service; be sure to specify '-sim' since we are also # running the simulator tailcone -sim -dev /dev/ttySX1
