How to use (1.0.0.X)

CPU load and NIC bitrate simulation can be customized on the General and Interfaces pages, respectively.

How to use (2.0.0.X)

To add simulated parameters, use the right-click menu of the Simulations table. You can add static values and trended numeric values with various behaviors. Via the same right-click menu, you can also edit or delete simulators.

Via the right-click menus of the tables on the Configuration page, you can assign a measurement unit and groups to each simulator. These serve as a conceptual classification of simulators.
