Part 1 - Setup the Simulation

In this example a simulation file will be used. This will allow capturing data without being connected to a real bus. Simulation files are simply previously captured data files that are played back to simulate actual bus traffic.

1. Start Vehicle Spy

2. Start Simulation File:

Click the pull down next to the Play button (Figure 1:). Select Run Simulation if AllBusTraffic.csv is not already present select Browse. Locate the AllBusTraffic.csv file and select Open. After loading the simulation will begin immediately.

Figure 2: Setting up a simulation file

A simulation has been successfully setup. Now when the blue play button near the top left corner of the window is clicked, the simulation file will be viewed. If Messages view is not already open, select Spy Networks > Messages to see simulated traffic.
