The PICkit Serial Analyzer is a low-cost USB-based tool used to direct communication between a PC and an external serial device.
Description
The PICkit Serial Analyzer simplifies the chore of managing serial communication with a device under test. The Windows® user interface (provided) configures the hardware and ‘scripts’ communication with the target device. Scripts created within the software GUI are saved to an internal library for future use. Once created, scripts can be conveniently assigned to push buttons or simply executed directly from the library index. All communication data and events are posted to a transaction window in a readable format.
The PICkit Serial Analyzer currently supports the following protocols:
The 28-Pin Demo Board includes a PIC16F886, switch, LED(s), connector for the PICkit Serial and ample prototype area. The processor contains demonstration firmware supporting I2C™ communication and emulation of 3 I2C™ devices: EEPROM, ADC and Real Time Clock.
Example custom GUI(s) are provided to demonstrate use of the DLL in each of the supported serial protocols. The examples come as projects for Visual Basic 2005 Express (free download from Microsoft®).
PICkit Serial Analyzer software uses Microsoft® .NET Framework. The installation process will automatically download .NET from the internet if not present. .
