-Data model configuration
-------------------------
-
-.. warning:: from v3.9.0 this is available as a "normal" datastore model.
-
-The simulator data model represent the registers and parameters of the simulated devices.
-The data model is defined using :class:`SimData` and :class:`SimDevice` before starting the
-server and cannot be changed without restarting the server.
-
-:class:`SimData` defines a group of continuous identical registers. This is the basis of the model,
-multiple :class:`SimData` should be used to mirror the physical device.
-
-:class:`SimDevice` defines device parameters and a list of :class:`SimData`.
-The list of :class:`SimData` can added as shared registers or as the 4 blocks, defined in modbus.
-:class:`SimDevice` can be used to simulate a single device, while a list of
-:class:`SimDevice` simulates a multipoint line (simulating a rs485 line or a tcp based serial forwarder).
-
-A server consist of communication parameters and a device or a list of devices
-
-:class:`SimDataType` is a helper class that defines legal datatypes.
-
-:class:`SimValueType` is a helper class that defines legal value types.
-
-:github:`examples/simulator_datamodel.py` contains usage examples.
