### Projects

For specific tasks, you may need to either create a new project or load a previously created project.

## Tools

* Publish JSON: can be used to publish JSON data to some available topic
* Dummy input: create simulated data that can be generated at a given frequency. Users can interact with this data by using sliders to adjust the values of the published data.

## Network

For the options of Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Virtual Machine, set the IP of the device to connect. For example:

<figure><img src="https://423882023-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9aELFWec9V26rEZKHjDA%2Fuploads%2FmtgsKaffko7csH8hR8RW%2FNep%2B%20App%203_22_2023%203_53_02%20PM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=1d2aa045-510f-457b-a130-e497983f4d20" alt=""><figcaption><p>Example of how to connect a device in the same Wi-Fi network</p></figcaption></figure>

This step must be set repeated for each device in the network. Therefore, each device must have the NEP+ installed and in execution.

For each node in the network, select the role of the socket. For example:

<figure><img src="https://423882023-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9aELFWec9V26rEZKHjDA%2Fuploads%2F2ENLSIfo2e1dCBWIXyue%2FNep%2B%20App%203_22_2023%203_56_52%20PM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f767f954-d0ee-4ecc-8d28-504edf03cc6e" alt=""><figcaption><p>An example of how to select the network role is Publisher (P) or Subscriber (S)</p></figcaption></figure>

## Visualization

For each topic in the list, select the visualization method, which can be JSON, 2D plot, or image
