# Bench Testing and Simulation

In order to test the Omnitrack system end-to-end, the system needs to be out in the world and in the water receiving real-world inputs such as unobstructed GPS/GNSS signals, a response from the ROV's ROVL transmitter/transponder, Doppler velocity from the Tracker 650, and inertial and magnetic inputs from the Omnitrack and ROV Autopilot's sensors.

Sometimes people want to be able to set up a complete system in the lab and test the system operation to avoid troubleshooting minor issues in the field. To that end, the Omnitrack system provides for the ability to put various parts of the system into simulation mode.

A simulation configuration page is provided by the ROVL's web server. An example simulation configuration page is shown below.

{% hint style="info" %}
When committed, the simulation configuration takes effect immediately. The simulation configuration is lost on reboot or power cycle. 
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omnitrack/bench-testing-and-simulation.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
