Generic Exchange Comms Application available (serial port connection) - VB.Net 2.0 runtime required 1

[nscripta]

Any time I need to access a Meridian I can't remember the command sequences so I have now developed my Exchange Comms Application. The app provides a means of creating sequences for dynamic buttons which are loaded from their respective files on startup.(buttons directory)

The app can be downloaded from:

http://time2innov8.co.uk/apps/exchangecomms.zip

(requires VB.Net runtime)

The following is an example of the 'Meridian Login' file:

Meridian Login,680,10 Button Name,Horizontal Position, Vertical Position
,>,2 Characters to send (CR), Response to Wait For, Wait Time(seconds)
LOGI TO,PASS?,2 Characters to send (CR), Response to Wait For, Wait Time(seconds)
1234,LOGGED IN,5 Characters to send (CR), Response to Wait For, Wait Time(seconds)

All characters sent are terminated by a carriage return.

User input can be added by passing variables from a dialogue box to the command sequence.

The following is an example of the 'Copy Digital Phone'

Copy Digital Phone,680,85 Button Name,Horizontal Position, Vertical Position
**VAR1,Copy From TN Define Variable Labe1 1
**VAR2,Copy To TN Define Variable Label 2
**VAR3,New DN Define Variable Label 3
****,>,2 Characters to send (CR), Response to Wait For, Wait Time(seconds)
LD 11,REQ:,5
CPY 1,TYPE:,2
2616,CFTN,2
##VAR1,TN,2 Transmit variable 1
##VAR2,DN,2 Transmit variable 2
##VAR3,NEW,2 Transmit variable 3


Up to 3 variables can be requested, the dialogue box shown will reflect the number required, the label for the corresponding label is defined using the **VAR property.

The software is provided 'as is' however all comments will be considered and action where necessary.
