	70	+= How to use NEST Desktop with ViSimpl (Overview) =
	71	+
	72	+1. In NEST Desktop, make sure that both backends (NEST Simulator and Insite) are running.
	73	+1. Run the simulation of the network with Insite as recording backend.
	74	+1. In ViSimpl, click on the REST button to get data from Insite (check that you use the correct URL).
	75	+1. Now, ViSimpl shows spatial dots representing neurons and spikes are displayed in glowing mode.
