Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Emulator • 335
Limitations
In most ways, the emulator behaves like a real sensor, especially when visualizing data, setting up models
and part matching, and adding and configuring measurement tools. The following are some of the
limitations of the emulator:
l Changes to job files in the emulator are not persistent (they are lost when you close or restart the
emulator). However, you can keep a modified job by first saving it and then downloading it from the
Jobs list on the Manage page to a client computer. The job file can then be loaded into the emulator
at a later time or even onto a physical sensor for final testing.
l Performing alignment in the emulator has no effect and will never complete.
For information on saving and loading jobs in the emulator, see Creating, Saving, and Loading Jobs on
page 340 .
For information on uploading and downloading jobs between the emulator and a computer, and
performing other job file management tasks, see Downloading and Uploading Jobs on page 345.
Downloading a Support File
The emulator is provided with several virtual sensors preinstalled.
You can also create virtual sensors yourself by downloading a support file from a physical Gocator and
then adding it to the emulator.
Support files can contain jobs, letting you configure systemsand add measurements in an emulated
sensor. Support files can also contain replay data, letting you test measurements and some
configurations on real data. Dual-sensor systems are supported.
To download a support file:
1. Go to the Manage page and click on the Support category.
2. In Filename, type the name you want to use for the support file.
