Figure 4.4 – Virtual Connection and Additional Options Screen
Virtual Sensor File
Since a virtual connection is not made to an actual sensor, a virtual sensor le (.vsf) is used
to save the conguration settings much like an actual sensor’s Flash memory. If you are
making a virtual connection for the rst time, you will need to create a virtual sensor le by
clicking on the magnifying glass icon and entering a le name.
When you create a new virtual sensor, you will need to complete two steps. First, you need
to open the new le (see Figure 4.5).
Figure 4.5 – Open New File
Second, you will need to decide whether the new sensor is to be a virtual SmartSensor Ad-
vance Extended Range device of a virtual SmartSensor Advance device (see Figure 4.6). If
you would like the virtual sensor to emulate SmartSensor Advance Extended Range, answer
Yes to the second prompt. If you would like the virtual sensor to emulate SmartSensor Ad-
vance answer No to the second prompt.
