The built-in Virtual Galileo can be used to simulate an arbitrary number of Galileo 616 units.
The stand-alone version provides only a single unit.
Using the Built-In Virtual Galileo for Stand-alone Development
Select this method when you wish to work on a Galileo without having a working physical
connection to a real Galileo 616.
1.
Start Compass.
2.
Select the Galileos tab.
3.
Click Add Galileo. A settings window will be displayed.
Provide a nickname and/or tab name for the Virtual Galileo. The IP address will not be used

will be shown above the Galileo tab name.
You may now use the Virtual Galileo device as if it were a real Galileo 616 unit, though without
audio signal.
IMPORTANT: When you disconnect the Virtual Galileo all settings will be lost. If you
want to save your configuration and channel settings, capture a snapshot and save the
project before disconnecting!
Using the Built-In Virtual Galileo to Substitute for an Existing Galileo 616
Select this method when you are connected to a real Galileo 616, but wish to modify a
configuration without changing the settings of the real unit while you do your work. You will not
be able to audition sound, but can quickly switch to the real hardware when you wish to do so.
