Introduction
The software installation of application-specific modules is carried out from the various Control Expert editors:
If you do not have a processor to which you can connect, Control Expert allows you to carry out an initial test using a simulator. In this case, the installation is different.
You are advised to follow the designated order of the installation phases. You may however change this order (by starting with the configuration phase, for example).
Installation Phases When Using a Processor
The following table presents the various installation phases when using a processor.

Configuration of Modules
The configuration parameters may only be modified from the Control Expert software.
Adjustment parameters may be modified either from the Control Expert software (in debugging mode) or from the application.
