# Quick Start

1. **Configure Simulator**\
   Go to the [**Sim Config**](https://docs.departedreality.com/dr-sim-manager/general/sim-config) tab. Click the '+' tab to add a new sim component, then select your simulator type from the dropdown. If your simulator has multiple components, input the dimensions accordingly.
2. **Add Motion Controller Output**\
   Navigate to the [**Outputs** ](https://docs.departedreality.com/dr-sim-manager/general/outputs)tab and click the '+' tab to add a new output. Choose "Serial Output" for controllers like Thanos or M4S. Adjust port mapping to match the controller port to the actuator number shown on the Sim Config tab.
3. **Test with Manual Control**\
   Under the [**Sources** ](https://docs.departedreality.com/dr-sim-manager/general/sources)tab, select 'Manual Control' and click 'Start Motion'. Use the sliders in the Manual Control UI to adjust each axis. Click 'Stop Motion' when finished.
4. **Test with a Game**\
   Choose a game from the [**Sources** ](https://docs.departedreality.com/dr-sim-manager/general/sources)tab. If a gear icon appears on the game banner, manual setup is needed—click it for telemetry configuration instructions. Use provided default motion profiles (hexapod/quadpost). After setup, click 'Start Motion'. You can launch the game before or after this step. Press 'Stop Motion' when done.
