I am not sure I understand the difference between 'stand alone' and debug. Can you explain it?

    Standalone .out files are created when you compile and do not check 'Include VisSim Communication Interface'
    Debug .out files are created when you compile and you do check 'Include VisSim Communication Interface'
    A standalone .out file can be downloaded to flash or RAM and will run fine on it's own. A debug .out file waits for a handshake with the VisSim target Interface block running on the PC before continuing.
