3.5 Message protocol diagnostics
Introduction
To read out messages, SINAUT ST7 provides you with the option of recording messages
transferred in the CPU, TIM and ST7cc/ST7sc PC components; in other words, to archive
them in protocols.
The following protocol types are distinguished:
● Testcopy DB:
This is used to record messages on a CPU module.
● ST7cc/ST7sc protocol:
This is used to record messages in SINAUT ST7cc or SINAUT ST7sc.
● TIM message protocol:
This is used to record messages received and sent by a TIM module.
