Visual protocol Simulator software is a serial port analyzer allows programmers to design and run protocol packets on the target system via RS232 serial port. VPS is a complete integrated development environment (IDE) for packet design, project management, packet simulation, analyzing, monitoring and data logging. VPS is simple and easy to use, no scripting is required. You can design your packets and run in minutes.
VPS packets bytes can be associated with window controls such as edit box, spin box, comb box, radio and check buttons giving the data a visualized form for easy read and manipulation. Radio and Check buttons are designed to handle bitmap manipulation. VPS adopts a unidirectional communication method with Master-Slave dynamic suited for the serial port physical component. VPS software output the packets data on RS232 serial communication bus. The serial signals can be converted into the target system physical interface such as SPI, RS485 and UART. VPS packet structure consists of a header, data payload and footer. VPS packets can be enhanced with optional standard cyclic redundancy check (CRC) functions such as CRC16, CITT Xmodem and Modulo 255. Other CRCs can be added upon request. VPS packets can be enhanced with an option to auto calculate the packet data payload length and added to the referenced byte. VPS software includes predefined packets to help you get started. In addition, VPS help menu have well documented tutorials and examples. VPS software runs on Microsoft windows operating system.
