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://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 the Tools chapter.
Definition. A
virtual sensor
connection lets
you see simulated
traffic in SSMHD
without actually
being connected
to a sensor—great
for demos!
