Gocator Emulator
The Gocator emulator is a stand-alone application that lets you run a "virtual" sensor. In a virtual sensor,
you can test jobs, evaluate data, and even learn more about new features, rather than take a physical
device off the production line to do this. You can also use a virtual sensor to familiarize yourself with the
overall interface if you are new to Gocator.
The Gocator emulator is only supported on Windows 7 and 8.

Limitations
In most ways, the emulator behaves like a real sensor, especially when visualizing data, setting up models
and part matching, and adding and configuring measurement tools. The following are some of the
limitations of the emulator:
l
Changes to job files in the emulator are not persistent (they are lost when you close or restart the
emulator). However, you can keep modified jobs by first saving them and then downloading them
from the
Jobs list on the Manage page to a client computer. The job files can then be loaded into the
emulator at a later time or even onto a physical sensor for final testing.
l
Performing alignment in the emulator has no effect and will never complete.
l
Only one instance can be run at a time.
