			Now the project is completed.

			What will happen is if the simulation is run, the value sent to the LEDs will be 0x55.

			When the simulation is stopped, the value sent to the LEDs will be 0xAA.

			When the code is sent to a microcontroller as the simulation will not be running then everything in the '''Yes''' branch will be ignored, so only no branch will be sent to the microcontroller.

As the decision is referring to a property, the generated C code is fixed and so the decision code gets optimised out when downloading to a microcontroller.

	Add a Decision Command Icon		Add a Decision Command Icon to double-click on the decision branch and enter '''Sim'''

			'''Sim''' is the name of the property which is treated the same as a variable would.

			Adding a single property or variable without an expression means it's true for any value except 0.

			To the '''Yes''' branch drag LED_Array1 WriteValue and enter 0x55 (You could use decimal 85 or 0b01010101).

			To the '''No''' branch drag LED_Array1 WriteValue and enter 0xAA (You could use decimal 170 or 0b10101010)
