1. From

the

Edit menu, select Data Source Setup. Data Source Setup is only available as long as

your current virtual rack is empty (that is, only a Recorder, but no MC_Card or Replayer in the
virtual rack).

2. Select Simulation from the Data Source list. Select either Sine Waves, Default or File Source.

3. Choose a data source layout and the number of channels. For more information, see "Data

Source Setup".

With the option "File Source" in simulation mode you can open binary files with the extension
".raw" for simulating data. It is recommended to create these binary files with the software
MC_DataTool, but you can use different software just as well, however the format of the file
has to be binary.

Note: When creating a binary file with MC_DataTool, make sure to export as many channels
to the binary file as should be simulated later.
