 +
 +Below the not changable simulator type you can define a custom name for this simulator.
 +
 +Additionally you can choose the simulator documents folder which is automatically detected if the simulator is installed locally.
 +
 +If the selected simulator is currently not active, you can use the buttons ''​Activate Simulator''​ to activate it or ''​Delete Simulator''​ to delete it again.
 +
 +:i: Note: You can change the active simulator also by clicking on the connection status in the [[other/​title-bar#​connection_status|Title Bar]].
