1.1.0 Getting Started in Simulation
This guide gets you started using MTS TestSuite software by running an example test in simulation mode.
This allows you to familiarize yourself with the software without applying power to your test station.
Installation of the simulation software consists of launching two separate self-extracting executables, one for
the MTS TestSuite software and one for the Series 793 simulation software.
Note:
Completing the tasks in this guide requires about 30 minutes.
Series 793 Simulation self-extracting executable
