14.4.2 Operation Panel of an AH Simulator
• Introduction of the operation panel of an AH simulator
After an AH simulator in COMMGR is started, the operation panel of the AH simulator will appear.
The lights and buttons on the operation panel correspond to the lights and buttons on an AH500
CPU module. Users can simulate the operation of an actual AH500 CPU module by means of the
operation panel. Please refer to the manuals related to AH500 CPU modules for more information
about the lights and the buttons on the operation panel.
After the operation panel is closed, the status of the AH simulator displayed in COMMGR will be
STOP. Likewise, if the status of the AH simulator displayed in COMMGR becomes STOP, the
operation panel will be closed. After the operation panel is closed, the program and the
parameters which have been downloaded will be reserved, and will be loaded into the AH
simulator next time the AH simulator is started. Besides, if the computer is restarted, the system
will start COMMGR automatically, and the statuses of the AH simulators displayed in COMMGR
will become STOP.
