Simulation of serial input

[Gammatech]

Hi,

I have a serial stream that gives a message consisting of around 110 characters every second without polling. The quick device works fine and sequences pull out all of the data from the serial message. When I am developing the DaqFactory application away from the serial source I would like to have a simulation so that the application will still run. It is simple to provide the equivalent message to the serial input but because the Quick device expects a valid serial port an alert always comes up saying either that "Comm 1 could not be initialised, probably in use by another app" or similar.

Is there a way to disable the quick device in a simulation mode?

Thanks

Just set the port to 0:

device.myserialdevice.port = 0
