About virtual sensor files
If you make changes to the sensor's setup while using a virtual
connection, those changes are saved to the virtual sensor file,
which by default will be saved to C:\Program Files\Wavetronix\
SmartSensor Manager Advance 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 and restore tools in chapter 10.
