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)
