Thread: Nanocom-based virtual instrumtnts

For someone it might be interesting we are currently working on displaying Nanocom fueling dataflow by virtual Windows PC-based instruments.

Currently dataflow is taken from a COM port with Nanoncom and passed on a two ways:
1. as comma separated values to stdout
2. as windows performance counters

Than is planned to be picked up and shown by a program with graphic instruments (which is not implemented yet).

Any ideas/suggestions/instrument libraries/interfaces design are welcome.

CSV dataflow from Nanocom: the program starts from Windows command line (.Net framework is required). There are some paremeters accepted for

NanoComTest\bin\Debug\NanoComTest.exe

-co --csvonly (clear CSV data)
-s, --silent (meaning messages)
-v, --verbose (package translations)
-vv, --veryverbose (package details)

Have a look at \Nanocom Source Code 2_05\Doc\COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NANOCOM AND PERSONAL COMPUTER.pdf for exchange protocol details.

-p COM4 (com-port settings, by default is 8)

The program and source code is free for use with (c) mentioned.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome!
