Use Offline Mode to develop, run, and debug test programs only on a computer without access to NI instruments. Offline Mode simulates the NI instruments the test program needs. Using Offline Mode does not require changes to the test program. Use the Accelerometer example to explore Offline Mode.

Using Offline Mode can be helpful when multiple people are developing a test program at the same time and must share access to a tester, when you do not have access to a tester, or when you want to explore different test program approaches that require different instruments.
