What is the Detect Emulator Action?
The Detect Emulator Action force detects the running emulators. Before Nintex RPA LE can interact with an emulator, it must first be aware that the emulator is running. Nintex RPA LE is designed to automatically detect emulators when they are launched. In certain scenarios, an emulator may not be detected due to how the emulator loads into memory and the time it takes for the emulator to start. In these cases, a Detect Emulator Action can be added to a Botflow to instruct Nintex RPA LE to look through all the running emulators and detect any that may have been missed when it was launched.
Note: The Detect Emulator Action is slow to execute, therefore use this Action sparingly to maximize speed. In most cases, this Action is not needed.
