Editor's review
This is a set of programs that help develop serial communication applications.
Comm Operator is a toolset for serial port, TCP/IP, UDP communication applications design, development, debug and test. This set of routines can help accelerate the development of hardware-software applications, client-server application as well as network applications. It will also help increase the speed of design, development, debug and test applications and hardware devices, such as relay boards, Electronic Total Station, Global Positioning System, chemical and medical analysis instruments, etc. Analysis and testing as well as verification of systems that work closely with hardware are facilitated by this set of routines. In such situations one can simulate the software and hardware and thus the system could be developed in parallel saving a lot of time. Unit testing will be facilitated by this software as the test environment can be set up well. Support for customers can be made easy too.
High speed data sent and received can be viewed in Text, Hex and Decimal formats. Complex structure of data, like ZigBee/ XBee API data framework or GIS Garmin data package can be created easily. Data are stored in lists and can be accessed from the applications GUI. An extensive set of communications features makes this really suitable for communication applications development life cycle. Features include communication through RS232, TCP/IP and UDP via serial Port, Bluetooth, USB, Ethernet and Wifi. Dedicated input panel for structured data and multiple customized panels for user`s specific data are available. Data transmission management can be rule based. You would be able to use Perl, Python and Ruby scripts to send data automatically. Developer site lists complete functionality. The depth and breadth of coverage of the required functionality is very good. Developers could save a lot of development time with this set.
