Virtual spectrometer:
If the virtual device simulates a spectrometer the "Data generation mode" only
offers the mode "Peaks". Each time you select this mode new peaks will be
generated. With the help of the control "Noise" the noise level in % can be
changed as well as the fluctuation.
Virtual line camera:
If the virtual device simulates a line camera, the "Data generation mode" offers
the modi "Line" and "Curve". The noise level and the fluctuation can be set and
the baseline of the measurement and the amplitude of the curve can be changed.

All virtual devices used by SPLICCO are described by a XML file, which can be
modified with a simple text editor. This description file can be found in the
installation folder of SPLICCO and is named "CameraDescription.xml".
