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

3. (Optional) In Description, type a description of the support file.
When you create a scenario from a support file in the emulator, the description is displayed below the
