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) section
- Every dummy device need it's own XML config file
- File name must be Dummy-CHIPID.xml, Dummy-I08-W0060.xml for example.
- User can simple copy your device config file and set the corresponding type in the dummy.ini
- Example: Minipix-I08-W0060.xml -> Dummy-I08-W0060.xml, Type=3
