Currently, the Host Emulator does not send the simulation state when the IG re-connects.

There are a few ways to detect a "re-connect". One definitive indicator that the IG needs the simulation state re-sent is if the IG switches from Standby Mode to Operate or Debug Mode (as indicated by the contents of the SOF packet).

An alternative mechanism for detecting a re-connect would be some kind of time-out. If the IG hasn't sent a SOF in the last N seconds, it's likely that the IG is out to lunch, and will need the simulation state re-sent.
