abstract = {{Simulations play a crucial role in instrument design, as a digital precursor of a real-world object they contain a comprehensive description of the setup. Unfortunately, this digital representation is often neglected once the real instrument is fully commissioned. To preserve the symbiosis of simulated and real-world instrument beyond commissioning we connect the two worlds through the instrument control software. The instrument control simultaneously starts measurements and simulations, receives feedback from both, and directs (meta)data to a NeXus file - a standard format in photon and neutron science. The instrument section of the produced NeXus file is enriched with detailed simulation parameters where the current state of the instrument is reflected by including real motor positions such as incorporating the actual aperture of a slit system. As a result, the enriched instrument description increases the reusability of experimental data in sense of the FAIR principles. The data is ready to be exploited by machine-learning techniques, such as for predictive maintenance applications as it is possible to perform simulations of a measurement directly from the NeXus file. The realization at the Aquarius beamline at Bessy II in connection with the Ray-UI simulation software and RayPyNG API serves as a prototype for a more general application. }},
