PC Software SW 1403 Black Box protocol The Black Box protocol is a system of rules that allows a PC (Personal Computer) as a master to start communication by sending the request command to the instrument, which answers according to the protocol. Black Box protocol enables a two-way communication intended for controlling an instrument as a Black Box. This enables hands free operation as the control over the instrument is delegated to an automated system. Black Box protocol solution is primarily suitable for automatized production line testing, but has found its use in other applications such as portable appliance testing and in some cases also in electrical installation safety testing. Black Box protocol can be used with terminal application such as Kitty (which is freely available from internet) and alike. The Black Box protocol is also designed to be used with other PC software engineering tools such as Visual Basic and LabView, which, with some effort, can be used to perform remote communications between PC and test instrument. METREL INSTRUMENTS SOFTWARE USING BLACK BOX PROTOCOL Black Box protocol is supported in new generation of Metrel test instruments and is free of charge; no additional licenses are needed for using it. Black Box protocol is also included in Metrel SDK; see Metrel SDK internet site for additional info. Black Box protocol in interaction with Metrel instruments
