This document has only specific information about the device connection settings and its address syntax.
Refer to the User Manual for more information on the Device Module.
Overview
The Simulator Driver gives you many options for data types and ranges, and it gives you control over which simulation values you can generate.
Pick from a list of data types — including Strings! — and set the Min & Max values you would like the data types to range through.
Do you want to simulate a real-world analog device and its response to a 4-20mA varying current? You can!
Or do you prefer to use a range that was 0-25 mA so you can simulate a wire break with 0 mA? Because you can too!
