Docklight scripting manual

And a UDP peer that communicates with a remote network address. The data transmitted back and forth is evaluated on the fly and chosen network events are logged to a custom text file. Docklight is a testing, analysis and simulation tool for serial communication protocols. It allows you to monitor the communication between two serial devices or to test the serial communication of a single device.

It has allowed us to automate some difficult sequences, including some encryption sequences that involve cipher block chaining. Testing these sequences by writing tools from scratch would have taken an inordinate amount of time. Docklight has allowed us to stay on track with our schedules.

In addition, Docklight support has far exceeded any support I have received in many years. Oliver was particularly helpful in guiding and directing me and in working with me to solve some challenging problems.

I felt as if I had a true partner and mentor. As a software developer, this program has been one of my most valuable tools. It is also one of the most user-friendly and intuitive to use. My thought was, 'I wonder if there is a Docklight solution for this'.

Docklight manages a list of such data sequences for you and is able to perform user-defined actions after detecting a sequence, e. Responding to incoming data — Docklight lets you specify user-defined answers to the different communication sequences received.

This allows you to build a basic simulator for your serial device within a few minutes. It can also help you to trace a certain error by sending out a diagnostics command after receiving the error message. Docklight will work with the COM communication ports provided by your Windows operating system.

However, it is also possible to use Docklight for other communication standards such as RS and RS, which have a different electrical design to RS but follow the RS communication mechanism. Docklight has been successfully tested with a vast range of serial devices and drivers.

For the software and manuals please refer to the download section. You can find Application Notes and examples for different hardware interfaces and protocols in our examples section. It features an easy-to-use script language, plus a built-in editor to create and run automated test jobs. Docklight does not behave as you expect, or as described in the user manual? Look here for solutions to known issues. It also explains typical applications and uses of Docklight.

High-quality machine translations of the user manual are available in German and French, which can be very helpful for a general overview of Docklight functions and applications. Application Notes and example projects for typical Docklight uses and various third-party devices, protocols and applications.
