The user enters the RF MAC address of the Viper unit they wish to connect to. Format 0x00000FD4
This is the total number of packets that will be transmitted during the test.
The user can choose to enter a delay in milliseconds between the packets being sent. Note: If there is no delay between the packets, it may appear that the transmitter only sent one packet.
The user can choose between Fixed or Random data pattern. Fixed data is highly compressible. Random data is not. Note: The Viper has a data compression algorithm that compresses the data before transmitting it.
Choose from ASCII or Binary (Hex) formats. ASCII data type is also highly compressible. Note: Random Hex data would best simulate PLC SCADA data.
Enter the length of the data to be transmitted. Note: A typical SCADA value would be between 10 to 250 bytes. The maximum value is equal to the MTU set in each Viper unit.
If the "Off" option is chosen and enough delay has been added between packets, the Viper will stop transmitting between packets. If "On" is selected the Viper will continuously transmit between packets.
Clicking the "Enable" radio button will put the Viper into test mode and the Viper will immediately begin listening for test packets transmitted from a remote unit. As the unit receives test packets the statistics will be updated. The statistics can be viewed by clicking the "Show Stats" button. Click the "Start Test" button to have the Viper start transmitting test packets to a remote unit.
Starts the test.
Stops the test.
The "Show Stats" button will display a pop up window that shows the test statistics of the test. Note: The user should use this feature on the receiving unit to monitor the Net test. This window will also display the RSSI value from the transmitting unit.
Clears the results of the test.
