LabScript: Your Super serial and TCP Terminal

Updated: Jan 30, 2012

Description

There are many software tools that allow a device to communicate with PC. The communication can be done through serial, ethernet, usb, etc ... Most available software tools are command based terminals like tera term, putty, hyperterminal....etc. All these tools will allow the user to communicate with their device by sending ascii commands to the device and receiving ascii response from the device. However, these tools are not your friend if you are trying some of the following tasks:

What if you want to repetitively send commands to your device? do you have to manually type these commands everytime? kinda tedious
What if you want to send many different commands to your device? type manually every time, copy and paste? kinda inneficient
What if you want to send some special commands by configuring each bit? do you need to figure out the binary to decimal conversion everytime? kinda difficult
What if you want if you want to read a specific bit value from the response of your device? decimal to binary conversion...sounds fun
The message is why not automate all of the above and more with LabScript?
