Advanced Concepts

• Simulation-Only Code - Code designed to work only via the simulator
• Different Code For Sim and Download - Detecting if code is for download or simulation
• Simulation Events - Event macros used to provide more functionality to both simulation and compiled code
• DLL Support - Changing the nature of a macro to instead call a external DLL function (simulation only)
