When you install DataStudio version 1.9.5 (or later) on a Windows computer, a
second piece of software, the GLX Simulator, is also installed. To start the simu-
lator, run the executable file
4 XplorerGLX.exe.
The GLX Simulator behaves like a real GLX. To “press” keys on the Simulator
keypad, click them with the computer’s mouse, or press the equivalent key on the
computer’s keyboard. (See page 90 for keyboard equivalents.)
Up to four PASPORT sensors connected to your computer through any type of
PASPORT interface will be treated by the Simulator like sensors connected to a
real GLX.
The GLX Simulator
Virtual Motion Sensor
If you are using the GLX Simulator without real sensors, you can select the Vir-
tual Motion Sensor to simulate a sensor. The Simulator will behave like a real
GLX connected to a Motion Sensor measuring an object oscillating with a fre-
quency of about 0.6 Hz and with an amplitude of 0.8 m.
4 The GLX Simulator is usually installed
in
c:\Program Files\DataStudio\
The Simulator requires Windows 2000
or Windows XP
