Serial Port Test Agent
During a setup, it is sometime not clear if the wiring between the multiviewer and a
peripheral device is correct or if the peripheral device sends the expected data. One can
connect a serial-port test agent as a peripheral device in XEdit, export the database to the
multiviewer, and then read, on a Web page, the data received on the serial port.
To use a serial port test agent
1 Select the Serial port test device in the equipment library and drag it onto the root of
the System hierarchical list. Alternatively, right-click the list root, and then click Insert
Serial port test on the shortcut menu.
2Click the Interconnects tab in the main window.
3 To connect the test device to the multiviewer, click the multiviewer’s icon, or the
device’s, and drag the pointer towards the other.
4 Click the test device’s icon, and adjust the port settings to match those of the actual
peripheral device you wish to test.
5 Click the connection line between the device and the multiviewer.
