Electronics design & production
LOGIN vending tools are in-house developed tools from our engineering department which is involved in a great deal of vending related development.
If we cannot find any decent third party tooling we set out to design our own. MDB spy is our first product which is also available for third parties. The product has been evaluated by the EVA technical committee and several committee members use the product on a day by day basis.
The MDB-spy application program is basically a Windows ® PC monitor allowing traffic on an MDB bus to be inspected and logged. The programs main feature is the addition of data interpretation of MDB commands. This changes rather meaningless hex data into the commands given by the MDB specification, thus allowing quick zooming on the problem area rather than flicking through several hundreds of pages of the MDB specification.
All timing is done through a hardware probe allowing true time stamping of events with a resolution of about 10 µs. Warnings are given by the data interpretation should MDB data be suspicious according to the specifications. All data can be logged, and filters can be set to filter out status polls etc.
The software is Windows 32 bit only (Windows 3.1 does not work ) and requires one serial (rs 232) port. A reasonable high speed system (300 MHz or more) is required to allow real time data interpretation.
Please download our PDF document, or see the on-line manual, for sample screens and program options.
