Check Superficially                   F6                            

Checks the current circuit diagram for mistakes in drawing.

Stop                                           F5                            

Switches the current circuit diagram in the Edit Mode.

Start                                           F9                            

Starts the simulation or, as the case may be, animation in the current circuit diagram.

Pause                                        F8                            

Pauses the current circuit diagram during simulation without leaving the Simulation Mode. The simulation can then be re-animated from this point and continue as if it had not been halted.

If Pauseis clicked while being in the Edit Mode, the circuit diagram switches to the Simulation Mode without starting the simulation. In this manner, the components' states can be set before the simulation is started.

Reset                                                                         

Sets an already running or paused simulation back to the initial state. The simulation is immediately restarted.

Single Step                                                                

Stops the simulation after it has run only a little bit. The simulation will run for a short time period and is then paused (). The single step mode can be applied at any time to an already running simulation.

Simulate until State Change                                      

Starts the simulation until a state change happens; the simulation is then paused (). A state change occurs when a cylinder piston travels a stop, a valve switches, a relay or a switch is actuated. The state change mode can be applied at any time to an already running simulation.
