Virtual Sensor File
Since a virtual connection is not made to an actual sensor, a virtual sensor file (.vsf) is used
to save the configuration settings much like an actual sensor’s Flash memory. If you are
making a virtual connection for the first time, you will need to create a virtual sensor file by
clicking on the magnifying glass icon and entering a file name.
When you create a new virtual sensor, you will need to complete two steps. First, you need
to open the new file (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.
