<refsect1><title>EXAMPLES</title>
  <para>
    To run <command>faum-node-pc</command>, you must have a precompiled
    <filename>system.ic</filename> that specifies the setup of the 
    simulated PC as well as a <filename>simulation.setup</filename> that
    determines simulation specific parameters in your working directory.
    You can use <command>fauhdlc</command> to compile a structural VHDL
    setup into a <filename>system.ic</filename> file.
  </para>
  <para>
    FAUmachine comes with a number of example experiments in
    <filename class="directory">/usr/share/faumachine/experiments</filename>.

  <para>
    To run such an experiment, you can use 
    <userinput>make -f
    /usr/share/faumachine/experiments/&lt;experiment&gt;/Makefile
    experiment</userinput>.
