# Simulation platform

> Simulation platform for testing QSH sensor applications without physical hardware.

##### Simulation platform

The sensing hub simulator (SHS) enables sensor algorithm development and testing without physical hardware. It provides a simulated environment that mimics the behavior of the sensor subsystem, which allows developers to validate sensor use cases early in the development cycle.

Key capabilities of SHS include:

* Simulating sensor data inputs for accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and other supported sensors.

* Running sensor algorithms in a host-based environment without target hardware.

* Validating sensor use cases and algorithm correctness before on-device testing.

* Accelerating the development cycle by enabling early software bring-up and testing.

See [Sensor hub simulator (SHS) ](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-P9361-25), for more information about setup, configuration, simulation workflows, and usage of SHS.
