Open the project file you want to simulate. From
the [Project (F)] menu, select [Simulation (L)].
You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T
to start simulation.
You can also click from the State bar
to start simulation.
[GP-Pro EX Simulation] is displayed. You can check
the operation of the project file in progress through [GP-Pro EX
Simulation] located at the top of the screen.
When you edit the project and run simulation
again, close [GP-Pro EX Simulation]. Do the same when running
simulation for a different project.
After editing or opening a project that you want to run simulation
on, update the contents in [GP-Pro EX Simulation] using one of the
following.
From the [Project (F)] menu, select
[Simulation (L)]
Press [Ctrl]+[T]
Press [F12]
[Address View] allows you to display a list and
