+Test data sources provide sample values that can be used while building and testing an MIStudio application.
 They are useful when live equipment data, database data, or external system data is not available yet.
 Test data sources can help confirm that graphics, controls, charts, and exposed properties update correctly while the application is running.
+Test data sources are configured and connected in the [[mistudio:logic_editor:start|MIStudio Logic Editor]].
