3.3.7 Simulation Mode
When installing QuantaSoft v. 1.5 or later, a second program — QuantaSoft-Simulation — will appear in
the Windows Start menu (but not on the desktop). Open this mode from the Start menu; otherwise, files
automatically open in the regular version of QuantaSoft.
Simulation mode allows you to perform functions from the top right menu that are otherwise enabled only
when connected to a droplet reader. For example, you can preview common functions such as a system flush
or a color calibration run. The simulation mode also allows you to load a demo plate or create a new template
and simulate a ddPCR run.
