Docklight Scripting free download. Get the latest version now. Automated testing for serial COM, TCP and UDP.

Docklight will work with the COM communication ports provided by your Windows operating system. Physically, these ports will be RS232 SUB D9 interfaces in many cases. However, it is also possible to use Docklight for other communication standards such as RS485 and RS422, which have a different electrical design to RS232 but follow the RS232 communication mechanism.

Docklight has been successfully tested with a vast range of serial devices and drivers. This includes many popular USB-to-Serial converters, Bluetooth serial ports, GPS receivers, Virtual Null Modem drivers like com0com, Arduino serial ports, MicroPython/pyboard, and many other Embedded hardware devices that appear as a COM port in the Windows Device Manager. For the software and manuals please refer to the You can find Application Notes and examples for different hardware interfaces and protocols in our. Docklight Scripting is an extended edition of Docklight RS232 Terminal / RS232 Monitor. It features an easy-to-use script language, plus a built-in editor to create and run automated test jobs.

A Docklight script allows you to execute all basic Docklight functions (sending predefined data sequences, detecting specific sequences within the incoming data stream.) and embed them in your own test code. Docklight Scripting is also network-enabled and supports HID or Named Pipe connections. Instead of using a serial COM port, Docklight Scripting can establish TCP connections (TCP client mode), accept a TCP connection on a local port (TCP server mode), act as a UDP peer, or Custom Class devices. For an overview on networking applications, see our and sections. Docklight Scripting gives you both, flexibility and simplicity. Within minutes you can build your own automated testing tools and create: • repeated test cycles (e.g.

Endurance testing for a motion control / drive system) • time-controlled test jobs (e.g. Sending a diagnostics command at certain times of day) • automatic device configuration scripts (e.g.

Resetting a RS232 device to factory defaults before delivery) • fault analysis tools for service and maintenance tasks (e.g. Running a set of diagnostics commands and performing automatic fault analysis • protocol testers with automatic checksum calculations (e.g. CRC - Cyclic Redundancy Codes) • Docklight startup scripts (e.g. Automatically starting a COM port logging task at PC startup) Docklight Scripting uses the VBScript engine, allowing you to write your tests in a simple and well-known script language.

Docklight's basic functions and features are made available through a small and convenient set of script commands. The sample applications and scripts provided make getting started easy, and allow you to become productive immediately. For the software and manuals please refer to the. Docklight Pro Monitor is a Windows tool for high speed and high resolution serial communications monitoring (RS232, RS422 and RS485). It is designed to work with the and devices.
