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