+= Example use of OSI Visualizer
+
+In this example, channel 1 of OSI Visualizer reads a trace file containing `SensorView` messages and publishes these messages at port 5564.
+An intermediary runs at localhost using a OSMP sensor model .
+The intermediary processes `SensorView` messages received at port 5564, transforms them into `SensorData` messages, and sends them to port 5563.
+OSI Visualizer listens at port 5564 for `SensorData` messages and visualizes them in channel 2.
+
+[[image-demo]]
+image::demo.png[title = "Example configuration of OSI Visualizer."]
+
+After clicking **Play** for channel 1 and 2, OSI Visualizer visualizes the communication between the two channels.
+Channel 1 plays the selected OSI input file scenario and sends out the OSI message to port 5564 at the same time.
+Channel 2 visualizes the received OSI messages at localhost at port 5563 showing it on the canvas.

+OSI Visualizer can visualize the content of an OSI trace file.
+
+[[image-playback]]
+image::playback.png[title = "Playback section in the configuration panel."]
+
+**Prerequisites**
+
+OSI Visualizer is running.
+
+**Steps**
+
+. In the configuration panel of the channel, select **Playback**.
+. From the **ZMQ** drop-down list, select the ZMQ pattern you want to use.
+. In the **Load** field, select the OSI trace file.
+. From the **Data** drop-down list, select the ZMQ pattern you want to use.
+. In the **Delay** field, enter the delta-delay in milliseconds.
+  The delta-delay slows down the playback speed by delaying each message by the given value.
+. If you want to publish the messages to localhost, select **Send to Port** and enter the port number you want to send OSI messages to.
+. If you want to add a FMU, check the **FMU** box and select the appropriate FMU file.
+. Once you have configured the channel correctly, press the **Play** button to start the playback. 
+
+**Result**
+
+The channel is playing back the OSI trace file.
+If **Send to Port** is enabled, the messages are sent to localhost at the given port.
+
+**Troubleshooting**
+
+When playing back large trace files, the visualization may not render smoothly.
+In this case, increase the delta-delay.
