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 presence of specific device type and generating noise while "measuring".
• 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 directory or AppData directory (The file can be in both places, find out which one is used).

• Count > 0 must be set
• Set the ChipCount, ChipIDs list and Type in the [0] section (or next section numbers if Count > 1).

• 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
