You may switch back and forth between Simulator mode and Debugger

mode while simulating your project.

When you switch from Simulator mode to Debugger mode, the project
continues to run in Debugger mode from the point at which it was
stopped in Simulator mode. This allows you to run the program quickly
up to the point where you want to do a more detailed test. When you
have tested the specific routine in Debugger mode, you may return to
Simulator mode.

box that allows you to simulate the success or failure of Input and
