Limitations
In most ways, a scenario 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:
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.
l The emulator does not support the PROFINETprotocol.
For information on saving and loading jobs in the emulator, see Creating, Saving, and Loading Jobs on
page 464.
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 468.
Downloading a Support File
The emulator provides several preinstalled scenarios.
You can also create scenarios 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.
