Question
I am monitoring the communication between two devices. I need to build a simulator for one of the
devices. Docklight allows me to define Send / Receive Sequences from the communication data,
but copying and pasting all the different requests and answers is such a time consuming and boring thing.
Is there a faster way?
Applies to:
Docklight / Docklight Scripting (all versions)
Answer
We have implemented an additional helper application that can read a Docklight log file and build
a simulator project from it. This works nicely for master/slave applications, where Docklight just needs
to answer to a finite set of requests, and you do not require responses with random data.
See the link below for the 'DocklightProjectGen' tool and additional information. Just give it a try!
Even if you have to deal with random data, DocklightProjectGen can help you to set up a basic framework for
your simulator, which you can extend and modify manually. We would very much welcome any comments and suggestions concerning
this tool!
