Ulrich, this is an enhanced re-write of work I did back in 1979, where I had several dozen pieces of equipment to control in the main test lab at Raytheon. It's still being written, as I'm working with Prologix on issues, and can't finish pieces until he fixes his part (yeh, blame the other guy!). Thought we were clear for awhile, but just sent him another one.
In general, it's a C++ application, interactive or script driven. A device profile script automatically handles many of the device differences, including mask byte formats and packed data decoding. Once I have full functionality, will be adding GNUplot and a DLL interface, so more complex applications can link to this. Then an optional bottom layer to use Prologix via their DLL instead of the virtual port. This approach worked well in the past. >From past progress, I expect it'll be a few months. I see your email's in QRZ, so I'll mark this to contact you later on, when I can make it available. Am curious if you could then use the Windows version, or if you'll need the Linux one, as I haven't started the port as yet?
