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