Inherent IVI Attributes:User Options:Simulate

Specifies whether to simulate instrument driver I/O operations. The default value is FALSE. Use the niSwitch Initialize With Options VI to override the default value.

Set this property to TRUE to perform range checking and call Ivi_GetAttribute and Ivi_SetAttribute functions without performing instrument I/O. For output parameters that represent instrument data, the instrument driver VIs return calculated values.
