64		-= How to use NEST Desktop with ViSimpl (Overview) =
65		-
66		-1. In NEST Desktop, make sure that both backends (NEST Simulator and Insite) are running.
67		-1. Run the simulation of the network with Insite as recording backend.
68		-1. In ViSimpl, click on the REST button to get data from Insite (check that you use the correct URL).
69		-1. Now, ViSimpl shows spatial dots representing neurons and spikes are displayed in glowing mode.
