BAPImon is a tool that helps system integrators to administrate BITBUS networks and to download and test programs in remote nodes.
The main dialog window of this Win98SE+-application allows the convenient exchange of test commands with a slave. Known tasks on the node are presented for selection from a drop down box and subsequently individual commands can be selected. BAPImon displays a command description and syntax and accepts input of hex, bit or string data. A "Send" button initiates the transfer and presents the answer as both hex and text (Latin-1 character set) data.
BAPImon comes preconfigured for the standard BITBUS RAC/GBS-task. It offers all standard commands and all mCAT-specific extensions. The command list and syntax description are part of an XML file that can be user modified with a standard text editor. Commands can be added or deleted and whole tasks can be described in command detail (see below). From the file menu, different configuration files can be selected.
