FrameAlyst Notes

Stand alone, no other components required.

Com Port 1..255

Timing analyzes.

Symbolic display of the Hart Protocol frames and the data.

Records can be stored in a file.

Frames may be filtered.

Variable trigger options.

Custom command format descriptors for symbolic display and compilation of vendor specific Hart Commands.

Mark any sequence in a frame and decode it as integer, packed ascii, string or float (the decode functions).

Addressing by long tag name supported (Hart Revision 6 Feature)

Full support of USB Com Ports

HartDLL 7.1
The HartDLL 7.1 is a HART protocol software driver which is integrated into the windows application program as a native Windows DLL. The DLL is implementing the complete HART protocol and hides the complexity and time critical aspects from the application program designer.

The Hart DLL in Visual Basic .NET

User's Manual

The DLL can be used even by console applications.

Versions for Windows CE can be made available.

Only one DLL does it all.

All HART commands including all possible vendor specific commands are supported.

No setup required.

No OLE required.

No registry entries required.

The DLL is compatible with primary and secondary
master. It detects the type of the other master automatically.

Addressing by long tag names supported (Hart Revision 6 Feature)

Full support of USB Com Ports

What is the advantage of a native DLL? The advantage is that no registry entries and no special setup procedures are required. Simply copy the DLL on the target PC and it will work!

The DLL works with all Windows versions starting with NT 4.0 / Win98 up to XP or Vista (x86) and Windows 7 (x86, x64).

The demo includes examples for Visual Studio 2005, C++, Visual Basic and C#.

HartX.NET is a .Net Object which provides the Hart Communication in a very simple way to the developer of a program. There is no difference if this program is developed in C++, C# or Visual Basic.Net.

Very easy migration from HartX 3.0 (fully compatible).

All HART commands including all possible vendor specific commands are supported.

The Object is compatible with primary and secondary master. It detects the type of the other master automatically.

Addressing by long tag names supported (Hart Revision 6 Feature)

Full support of USB Com Ports

HartDLL 7.1 / SL is a separate interface of the Hart communication driver DLL for Windows or Windows CE. It extends the functionality of the driver by proving also a slave interface.

Handling of Burst Mode not yet possible

The following interface functions are provided.
SetSlaveMode(...)
GetSlaveConfig(...)
SetSlaveConfig(...)
GetCmdRequest(...)
PutCmdResponse(...)
GetSlaveInterfaceStatus(...)
GetSlaveInterfaceLastError(...)
ClearSlaveInterfaceLastError(...)

HartMux 7.0
HartMux is a Hart Multiplexer which is realized by software (as a Microsoft .NET Component). However, for each connected slave a separate Hart modem is needed. The advantage of the package is that up to 100 Hart devices can be handled simultaneously because of the high speed of the PC-Processor and the high speed of the USB-connection of the modems. This turns a PC into a very high speed Hart multiplexing system.

Functional Description

Component for Microsoft .NET 3.5

Handles up to 100 Hart devices simultaneously

Direct data export to Excel

Data export to xml files supported

The component is compatible to HART Revision 5 through 7.2.

HartDLL 7.0 / CE
The HartDLL 7.0 / CE is a Hart driver for Windows Mobile / Windows CE 5.0 (ARM41) and higher. It has the same functionality as the regular Hart driver. The only difference is that the CE version is only supporting a maximum of 10 Hart connections at a time.

Price:
4000,- Euro

Same interface as HartDLL 7.0

Optimized for low memory requirements

Handling of Multimaster and Burst Mode

Developed with Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder SP 1

It is compatible to HART Revision 5 through 7.2.

Test and Device Simulation for Embedded Systems

CADItest 1.0

CADI stands for Component And Device Integration. CADItest is a software package which allows to build automated tests for embedded systems very easily. It supports different styles of reporting (e.g. HTML and other XML documents) and different styles of assertions. CADItest is realized as a set of library functions and it is based on .NET 2.0. The user's tests may be written in C, C# and Visual Basic.

CADItest is providing interfaces to Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0 and NUnit.

CADItest is a key element for realizing agile principles with very low development efforts. Please send us an email if you like to get more information of this new product.

CADIsim 1.0

CADIsim is a software framework which is used to realize a PC simulation by using the original embedded device source code even if the code is written in plain C. CADIsim is based on .NET 2.0 and ready for Windows 7.

With CADIsim the user can develop almost 95 % of the (C or C++) source code for an embedded device in Microsoft Visual Studio. Please send us an email if you are interested into more details of this new product.
