# SKsim

## Signal K data stream generator plugin.

SKsim is a Signal K server plug-in which injects data into the Signal K data stream to mimic vessel movement, engine status, water depth, etc.

Additionally SKsim can load and follow a GPX Track. SKsim will walk through each point
in the Track at the interval set in the configuration screen.

*Note: If a track has multiple segments, SKsim will concatenate all the segments into one
contiguous Track*

It has a UI which is available in the Signal K server **Web Apps** screen so it can be operated directly from the Signal K server.
