A digital logic simulation/emulation system (20) operates in an engaged operating mode in which a digital-logic simulation process (22) transmits stimulation-control data to a hardware pod (32) for controlling stimulation of a digital logic circuit. In response to the stimulation-control data, the hardware pod (32) performs a stimulation-response cycle, and then sends response data from the digital logic circuit to the simulation process (22). The simulation process (22) and the hardware pod (32) may also operate in a disengaged operating mode in which each operates independently of the other without exchanging stimulation-control data or response data. Operation of the system (20) in the disengaged mode commences if a disengagement event occurs in the hardware pod (32). Operation of the system (20) in the disengaged mode terminates if the simulation process (22) sends stimulation-control data to the hardware pod (32), or if the hardware pod (32) sends response data to the simulation process (22).
