 Install software from TRiLOGI or here
 Version that can be run without installation:
     Unzip "trilogi_PLC_simulator.zip"
     Run this file: /TRiLOGI/TL6Edu/TL62Edu.jar
         That should bring up the trilogi PLC simulator
         program without any installation.
         This has worked on Windows 10 computers.
