How can a company verify that a data-simulating module is operational?

To verify that a data-simulating module is operational, viewing the data output from the module is a direct and effective approach. When a module simulates data, the primary function is to send out data streams that mimic real sensor data or other forms of input. By analyzing this output, a company can confirm whether the module is functioning as expected. If the output is being generated correctly, with the expected format and frequency, it indicates that the module is operational and responding as intended.

In contrast, generating a test report may provide insight into the module's performance but does not directly confirm real-time operational status. Checking the dashboard for errors is useful for diagnosing issues but doesn’t confirm that the module is actively working at the moment. Modifying the module configuration might change its behavior or settings but does not inherently determine operational status until the output is observed post-modification. Thus, the most immediate way to verify operational capability is through the direct observation of data output.
