Data Streamer Protocol Driver

Overview

The Data Streamer Protocol allows you to send multiple variables from your embedded application, to display these variables on a graph (or custom dashboard).

Features

• Selectable UART Dependency
  • This allows to select the UART over which you would like to send Data Streamer frames.
  • If you are using a development kit, this will typically be the UART connected to the Serial/ CDC port.
• Add Variables and Configure its type
  • You may add variables as many as you like.
    • You may add by Clicking the "+" icon beside the existing variables. This adds new variable above the existing one.
    • You may add by Clicking the "+" icon at the bottom. This adds new variable at the bottom of the variable list.
  • You may remove existing variables as well.
    • This is done by clicking the 'trash bin' icon beside the variable to be removed.
  • For each variable, you can configure its type from the list of allowed variable types.
  • For each variable, you can configure and give it a name. The variable name should be valid in C Language.
  • For each variable, you can configure its type from the list of allowed variable types.
• Configurable API Prefix. API Prefix should be valid in C Language
• Generates the Data Streamer APIs
  • Sends stream of variables to be displayed
• Generates ds Configuration file
  • When opened with Data Visualizer, this will show list of configured variables
