We hope to add support for controller simulation including network formation at some point. In the meantime the following may be useful:

1. Add two instances of "Bike Light Remote Control (Broadcast Only)". They can be on a single USB device.
2. Set "ANT Channel Configuration" for instance A to the parameters for the light you wish to assign as main light
a. Click "TurnOn"
b. Wait for light to be found
c. Click "SendConnectCommandPage..."
i. Enter Controller ID that light is paired to (Only Garmin lights pair and reject unrecognized controllers at this time)
ii. Enter "Device Number (Main Light)" to match that from step 2
iii. Enter "Light Index Setting" 1
iv. Change "Light State Setting" from "Invalid" if you wish to have light enter a specific state once connected (ex turn light beam on)
v. Select the appropriate light type for "Light Type Setting". This must match the type of light, or configure the light type for lights supporting multiple types.
vi. Set "Number of Secondary Lights" to the number of secondary lights that will be added to the network
vii. Set "Sub-Light Index" if "Light State Setting" and "Light Type Setting" apply to a specific sub-light. 0 for principle light is default, and almost certainly what you want.
viii. Leave "Transmission Type" as 0. Garmin lights parse only the extended device number information, but other lights may use directly requiring calculation with the lower nibble as 6. 0 is safe for SimulANT+ use since it is the wildcard value.
ix. Click "OK"
3. Set "ANT Channel Configuration" for instance B to the parameters for the light you wish to assign as first secondary light
a. Click "TurnOn"
b. Wait for light to be found
c. Click "SendConnectCommandPage..."
i. Enter Controller ID that light is paired to (Only Garmin lights pair and reject unrecognized controllers at this time)
ii. Enter "Device Number (Main Light)" to match that from step 2
iii. Enter "Light Index Setting" 2
iv. Change "Light State Setting" from "Invalid" if you wish to have light enter a specific state once connected (ex turn light beam on)
v. Select the appropriate light type for "Light Type Setting". This must match the type of light, or configure the light type for lights supporting multiple types.
vi. Set "Number of Secondary Lights" to the number of secondary lights that will be added to the network (SimulANT+ lights require this even for secondary lights, but shouldn't be required for secondary lights)
vii. Set "Sub-Light Index" if "Light State Setting" and "Light Type Setting" apply to a specific sub-light. 0 for principle light is default, and almost certainly what you want.
viii. Leave "Transmission Type" as 0. Garmin lights parse only the extended device number information, but other lights may use directly requiring calculation with the lower nibble as 6. 0 is safe for SimulANT+ use since it is the wildcard value.
ix. Click "OK"
4. Right click on instance B and "Reload"
5. Repeat 3 and 4 for each additional secondary light added to the network, but with 3 C iii incremented each time.      

The bike lights profile document is only released to Annual Members as a Member Early Release at this time. Similarly support in SimulANT+ is included in the SimulANT+ Member Early Release, which is only available to the same group.
