====== Project Simulation ======

The ComfileHMI has a built-in simulator that can be used to test the project on the host PC before deploying it to the ComfileHMI hardware.

To activate the simulator, simply press the //Simulator// icon in the main toolbar, as illustrated below.

When the simulator is executed, it will automatically create a folder at //C:\HMISimul//.  The simulator will need access to that folder.
