MTS Multipurpose Simulated - Manual (Page 19)

If you run a simulated test and then want to run a different template, you must use the MPE application to
disconnect from the controller (Controller > Disconnect), use the Station Manager application to open the
configuration file required for the new template (see the table below), and then use the MPE application to
connect to the controller (Controller > Connect).
