In real work
Run software-in-the-loop on the valve controller first. SIL caught a timing bug before we booked the HIL stand.
In the illustration
A program card slides straight into the simulator, the clamp stays empty, and the drum spins in fast-forward while a run counter races to 1,000.
Run the lane-change logic in software-in-the-loop through your engineering tools before we book the rig: 1,000 simulated cuts-in, with the five worst outcomes ranked by minimum gap.
