ScriptCommunicator / serial terminal 04.12(Qt Other Utility)
ScriptCommunicator is a scriptable cross-platform data terminal which supports several interfaces. All sent and received data can be shown in a console and can be logged in an html, a text and a custom log. In addition to the simple sending and receiving of data ScriptCommunicator has a QtScript (similar to JavaScript) interface.
This script interface has following features:
- Scripts can send and receive data with the main interface.
- In addition to the main interface scripts can create and use own interfaces (serial port (RS232, USB to serial), UDP, TCP client, TCP server, PCAN and SPI master).
- Scripts can use their own GUI (GUI files which have been created with QtDesigner (is included) or QtCreator).
- Multiple plot windows can be created by scripts (QCustomPlot from Emanuel Eichhammer is used).
Features:
- seriel port (RS232, USB to serial)
- TCP client/server
- UDP
- SPI master (cheetah SPI)
- CAN (PCAN-USB, only on windows)
- ascii, hexadecimal, decimal, binary, custom and mixed console (adjustable colors) html, text and custom log
- script interface (QtScript)->run automated test jobs, automatic device configuration scripts...
- use ui files (user interface created with QtDesigner (is included) or QtCreator) via script->building test GUIs, control GUIs...
- plotting data via script and export the generated graphs to file (png, jpg, bmp, pdf and csv)->e.g. to visualize a PID controller or a heater
