	43	+The interface is closely modelled on the C++ API; indeed, the steps to use it is almost exactly the same. You can mostly refer to the C++ description for explanation. Below we will only highlight the differences to the C++ API.

55		-Let’s take a look at a pair of programs that send and receive spikes. These can be used as inputs or outputs to the NEST models we created above with no change to the code. C++ code tends to be somewhat longwinded so we only show the relevant parts here.

60		-We won’t discuss the code extensively as learning SLI is really outside the scope of this tutorial. The code follows the same structure as the other examples, and should be straightforward to follow. But we will give a few pointers for how to connect things with MUSIC.
