Function:      Simple Lunar Module Simulator as an add-on to Ron Burkey's yaAGC
Language:      TCL/TK
Invoke:        LINUX:   wish lm_system_simulator.tcl (TCL/TK has to be installed)
               WINDOWS: lm_system_simulator.exe
************************************************************************************************************

The program "LM Simulator" is an add-on to Ron Burkey's "yaAGC" (Apollo Guidance Computer Simulation /
http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/index.html).
It evolved from a simple BIT-Monitor to that what it is today, a very simple Lunar Module System Simulator.
The program has been written in an interpreter language called TCL/TK which is available on nearly all LINUX
distributions. To cover the Windows world a stand-alone application will be provided.


The following System Simulations are already implemented:
=========================================================
- IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)
- FDAI (Flight Director Attitude Indicator)
- All Crew Switches connected to the AGC
- All binary AGC system inputs by providing check-buttons to change their status (e.g. Overtemperature)
- All binary AGC outputs by interpreting the different BIT combinations and presenting the status in a readable form
- A physical model to simulate the LM behavior in space
- The four quad RCS thruster system in conjunction with the above mentioned physical model
- Descent Engine
- Ascent Engine
- Stage Separation
- A Bit-Monitor to trace the AGC inputs and outputs
