Product overview
The user interacts with the system via the graphical user frontend. The user constructs a network topology by selecting hosts and switches and connecting them together very much like a physical Ethernet network is assembled. The user also specify the data frames and their parameters like source host, destination host(s), size and frequency.

A sensor in the application is a device that has the capability to create a Data Flow, stored in a capture file. Thus, the Sensor can be the source of a Data Frame or a Stream.
The sensor can inject packets into a virtual Ethernet network by reading Ethernet frames with high-precision time stamps from a capture file. In the delivery, it is provided such a capture file with a recording of an automotive Ethernet best effort camera. In the same way any device generating Ethernet packets can be recorded (measured) with our other tool (TCN Ethernet StreamAnalyzer) and played back in the TCN Ethernet Simulator. TCN Ethernet StreamAnalyzer is not yet released, so TCN has to do this recording.
To add a Sensor, select the Add Sensor 
tool. In the dialog window, enter the name of the Sensor and select a type and model of the sensor.
