Note: The number of dialog pages in the Device Wizard depends on the driver being used in the application.
3. Click Next to proceed to the next dialog. Then, select either a 16 bit or 8 bit register size for the device being
simulated. In other device drivers, users would select a device model. For this example, however, choose the 16 bit
device size.
4. Then select the Device ID, which is the unique identifier required by the actual communications protocol. For the
Simulator driver, the Device ID is a numeric value. The format and style of the Device ID depends on the
communications driver being used.
Note: For this driver, the next dialog is the Device Summary. In other applications, there will be additional dialog pages
that allow the configuration of parameters such as device timeout and retry count.
Thus, while not used by the Simulator driver, the following figure demonstrates the Timeout dialog that is common to
all communications drivers.
