rusefi_simulator running forever

[coder321]

Hi ... I am new to ruefi and ecu development.
I got the firmware and simulator compiled and ready to run.
To test that my configuration is working correctly i executed rusefi_simulator.exe through cmd on win 10. It's been running for more than 2 hours now.

I took several screenshots of the running cmd and i can see the same messages displayed over and over as per the attached image

My question is: Is this normal behavior? did i miss a step in the process?
Thank you for your help getting me started with this and sorry if this quesion was asked previously. I tried to look it up without success so i decided to post my question

Yes, this is expected behavior. Your simulator is running as expected.

You can connect to it with rusEFI console and TunerStudio. More about this on https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/wiki/Virtual_simulator

Thank you for your reply
i will start working with the console.

But can you provide me with more info about that .exe and why it keeps running indefinitely? are there some documentation about that ? what is it doing and why is running that way?

Thank you

rusEFI virtual firmware simulator is a way to play with the rusEFI without any hardware!
This simulator allows you to see how the firmware reacts to different commands and configuration adjustments via Tuner Studio. The main thing one would be looking at would be the 'Engine Sniffer'.

All you need is a Windows computer. This virtual simulator is built from the same source code as rusEFI controllers firmware.
