7.6 Debug Tab
The Debug tab of the BitPipe ™ Cellular Test Tool is aimed at software/firmware integrators, to help them
with the serial communication layer. The BitPipe ™ Serial API is used to communicate with the BitPipe ™
over a serial connection. This tab will help troubleshoot issues encountered while integrating the
BitPipe
™ .
This tab allows you to see the actual message generation, transmission of a request and reception of a
reply. An example is provided to retrieve the BitPipe
™ firmware version. Here are the steps:
1- In the Input Command Data field, enter the following hexadecimal string: “11 01 00”
2- Click “Generate Message”
a. The message is displayed in the Generated Message field.
3- Click “Send Message”
a. The message is sent to the BitPipe ™ , a reply should be immediately visible in the Received
Reply box below.
As shown in Figure 29, the binary data exchanged is displayed in hexadecimal notation, with the character
representation on the left. This allows easy analysis of message data exchanged. The Message CRC will be
generated by the Test Tool,
so there’s no need to enter it in the Input Command Data .
Refer to the BitPipe ™ Serial API documentation for more information. The latest version can be found
