 Assuming all the process definitions above are in a file ''buffer.act'', we can create a test environment to run a simulation. Below, we create a ''test_source'' that sends ten data values on an output channel, and a ''test_sink'' that reads inputs and prints them to the screen using the built-in ''log()'' command. We then create a top-level test process (called ''test'' here) that connects a ''test_source'' and ''test_sink'' to the buffer.

+This can be simulated using ''[[tools:actsim|actsim]]'' as follows. The command-line specifies the ACT file to read, as well as the top-level process name.

+The first set of numbers is the time (default delays are 10 time units for each step in the CHP program). Next, the instance name is specified in angle brackets. Finally the log message is displayed.
