Setting Up and Basic Usage of the Emulator
Getting the Emulator to scan a normal ladder logic program is quite simple. You just turn
it on! This involves two steps:
1. Tell the emulator which ladder logic file you want to scan. Do this via:
File/Open and pick the ladder file (.X5 or .ACH).
2. Tell the emulator to start scanning. Do this via:
Select either the Run, Test or One Rung scan modes (more on modes later).
In the above example, a ladder logic file named ICOM5DM7.X5 is being emulated (note
the path in the title bar). It is currently in the Halt mode (analogous to the program mode
of a PLC).
