# Creating a Virtual Station

Controller features, such as the Low Reaction Tightening Strategies and controller-wide functions among others, require licenses distributed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). Whereas configuration of features is possible without specific licenses, the assignment and use of those features will require the correct license to be installed on the controller. Please refer to Licenses (FMS) for more detailed information on licenses.

Create a virtual station

To create a new virtual station:

1. Tap on the plus sign.

2. Edit the name and other parameters.

To remove a virtual station: Tap on delete at the bottom of the list of parameters.

The list of virtual stations created is presented in the order of creation.

If no tool configuration is available when assigning a tool, a new tool configuration is automatically created and assigned to the virtual station.

This auto-created tools configuration will have Start source set to Trigger only and trace set to Off. For STB tools Start request will be set to On.
