Virtual devices
The Pixet core suppots virtual devices for testing without a hardware present. There are two typed of devices available:
- File device - Generic frame-based device using selected data file for emulating of the measurement.
 - Dummy device - Virtual device emulating selected device type with properties by the config file.
 
File device
- Default virtual device if no physical devices found.
 - User can disable it using the FileDeviceWhenNoDevs=false in the [Settings] section of the pixet.ini file
 - User can force it using the FileDevice=true in the [Settings] section of the pixet.ini file
 - In the Pixet program can be selected some predefined data set or a custom data file. The file must be frame-based.
 - The device has no hwlib and any config file.
 - The device has the currentFrameIndex() method in the Python API.
 
Dummy device
- Virtual device emulating specific device type.
 - Need the dummy.dll/dummy.so hwlib file, enabled in the [Hwlibs] section of the pixet.ini file
 - Using the dummy.ini configuration file (in the Pixet or appData directory - Pixet directory)
 
- Count > 0 must be set
 - Set the ChipCount, ChipIDs list and Type in the [0] (or next numbers if Count > 1)
