Capture modules

Modules are installed into HEAT Capture from the published module registry. See the module catalogue for the full list and what each one captures.

Capture plugins

Plugins run inside a third-party simulator and publish frames to HEAT Capture. See the plugin catalogue for the supported hosts.

HEAT ProtoLib

The simulation data model shared by every product above. See HEAT ProtoLib for the schema, the message reference and the published language packages.
