Sensor/Actuator Emulator for the Atlas Platform

Overview

The purpose of the Atlas sensor /actuator emulator is to provide a pure software environment where any sensor or actuator behavior is emulated by software. Without requiring any hardware, it provides a ˇ°hassle-freeˇ± approach to the service programmer to achieve rapid prototyping. A sensor (actuator) emulator is a single service bundle that emulates the operations of a certain type of sensor (actuator).This way, instead of serving as a proxy that passes along commands and measurements for the device, the emulator bundle has the capability to process commands and generate measurements on its own. In other words, the bundles virtually have the ability to ˇ°senseˇ± or ˇ°actuateˇ±. In addition, the emulator provides a graphical user interface that not only displays device status such as sampling rate and measurement value, but also allows users to program these parameters to customize the device configuration.
