# ACRON Simulator

You can use the ACRON Simulator (`ACSim.exe`) to create and delete plant data. Auto data, manual values and data for Service can be simulated either in any combination or individually.

{% hint style="info" %}
Attention

When creating simulation data, any existing actual (not simulated) data for the time range specified in the simulator will be deleted from the base of data for the currently selected plant.

To avoid corrupting the application and losing data due to incorrect use of the ACRON Simulator, it is recommended that once an ACRON system has been installed for actual use the `acsim.exe` file should be deleted from its installation directory.

Otherwise you are recommended to block the users from accessing the ACRON Simulator.
