SSMHD will use when communicating with the sensor.
Virtual Connection
A virtual connection allows you to use the SSMHD software without being connected to an
actual sensor. Making a virtual connection can be useful for the following reasons:
˽ To view a saved sensor setup file.
˽ To demonstrate functionality for different applications.
˽ To review how the software works.
Use the following steps to make a virtual connection:
1 Click the Virtual button
(see Figure 4.4).
2 Select or create a virtual sensor file (.sim) by clicking the magnifying glass icon.
3 Click the Connect button.
