About virtual sensor files
If you make changes to the sensor's setup while using a virtual connec-
tion, those changes are saved to the virtual sensor file, which by default
will be saved to C://ProgramFiles/Wavetronix/SmartSensorManagerHD
vX.X.X/bin/.
If you want, you can back up those virtual sensor settings; that will
create a sensor setup file which can then be restored to an actual sensor.
More on the backup/restore tools in chapter 10.
