An emulator is a piece of hardware which exactly duplicates the functionality of another piece of hardware.

One common form of emulator is an In-Circuit Emulator (often called by the acronym, ICE), which is a perfect emulation of a given chip, down to the physical form, but which has a control unit attached to it which can record the operation of the emulated chip, for diagnostic and debugging purposes.
