This method puts the system into a system-specific special mode of operation. It is expected that this mode does one or all of the following things:
- Simulate hardware (for tests on notebook)
- Produce simulated results (for tests within the line)
- Simulate parts of a recipe
It is mandatory that each result produced by the system when simulation mode is on must be marked with a simulation flag.
