1. Greenleaf ViewComm II

Greenleaf ViewComm II is a highly versatile protocol analyzer compatible with both asynchronous and Ethernet protocols. ViewComm II provides a suite of views, including:

  • Events: A real-time log of network events that helps track activities and identify anomalies.
  • Frame: Displays data packets in a structured format, allowing users to identify communication errors.
  • Signals: Visual representation of protocol signals, making it easier to spot irregularities.
  • Statistics Views: Real-time statistics to monitor data flow and transmission rates.

This tool is ideal for developers who need to inspect communications at a granular level, as ViewComm II includes support for bit-level decoding and customized protocol scripts.

2. Frontline Test Equipment Analyzers

In addition to Greenleaf’s proprietary products, they offer protocol analyzers from Frontline Test Equipment, including:

  • FTS4Control: Specialized for industrial protocols, FTS4Control helps analyze communication protocols used in manufacturing and automation.
  • FTS4USB: Designed for USB communications, this analyzer provides a detailed view of USB data exchange and requests, ideal for debugging and verifying USB-based applications.

Serial Communication Tools for Reliable Data Transmission

For developers working with serial communications, Greenleaf offers three essential products: CommLib, CommX, and Comm++. These tools cater to various needs within the serial communications domain, providing the flexibility and performance required for critical applications.

1. Greenleaf CommLib

CommLib is a comprehensive library of serial communication utilities, suitable for applications requiring high-speed data exchange (up to 921.6 Kbaud) and compatibility with Win32 and DOS. It supports unlimited ports and offers terminal emulation, transfer protocols (like X, Y, and ZModem), and numerous configuration options. CommLib has been widely adopted for mission-critical applications due to its reliability and performance.

2. Greenleaf CommX

CommX is an ActiveX control that makes it easy to add serial communication functionality to applications. It offers several key features:

  • Event-Driven Programming: Provides a highly responsive communication setup.
  • Transfer Rates Up to 921.6 Kbaud: Ensures smooth and fast data transmission.
  • Wide Compatibility: CommX integrates seamlessly with most ActiveX-capable software, expanding its potential use cases.

3. Greenleaf Comm++

Comm++ is a robust C++ library designed for serial communication, including advanced features like ANSI and VT52 terminal emulation, and support for Z, Y, and XModem protocols. Comm++ provides unlimited port support and comes with source code, allowing for full customization to fit the specific needs of various applications.

Data Compression, Archiving, and Encryption with Greenleaf ArchiveLib

Greenleaf ArchiveLib adds another layer of functionality to network applications by providing data compression, archiving, and encryption capabilities. ArchiveLib uses three distinct compression engines, allowing developers to optimize storage and transmission efficiency. Key features of ArchiveLib include:

  1. Multiple Compression Engines: Choose the level of compression based on file size and processing power.
  2. Programmable Archiving: Tailor archive functions to specific project needs, creating compressed archives as part of automated workflows.
  3. Encryption Options: Enhance data security with built-in encryption, safeguarding sensitive information.
  4. PKZIP File Compatibility: ArchiveLib can create PKZIP files, ensuring interoperability with other compression tools.

These features make ArchiveLib an excellent tool for applications that require efficient data handling, particularly when data security is critical.
