ISOTEL Device Manager · IDM

Test & Measure with Certainty, Control Precisely

Designed for developers for Rapid Hardware and Embedded Firmware Development where the free IDM software together with Isotel Sensor Network (ISN) Protocols create a web device without writing a single code on host computer.

The GUI as well as remotely accessible data-structures are entirely created automatically from printf()-like short descriptions without any need to write host device driver support. Descriptions implicitly specify precision, optionally certainty, physical units, math, data-structures along other text elements. Descriptors are designed to provide accurate description of physical quantities measured. Supported with real-time streaming and visualization of time series, spectrum, with gnuradio, jupyter math support, recording and tracing, aggregated retrieval of recorded data with math functions, and more.

With the open-source C-library and python support, one can effortlessly bring up a device ready for quick evaluation and integration into test frameworks during development and finally in production automated test & measurement environments.

Key Features

  • Simplifies embedded hardware development, immediate integration in ATE

  • Small code footprint, shifts pre/post processing of messages to the host

  • Minimize data transfer to raw C structures, in both direction in/out, with inverse calculation

  • Presentation of integers (n x 8 bits), float, double, endianness support, and integers with NaN, precision presentation and accuracy specifications

  • Data structures, with math support and basic vector operations, lists and push-buttons, text descriptions, hyper-links, headings with basic, advanced, and development contexts

  • Table with rows and columns hiding, group settings

  • Streams, with direct TCP/IP sockets for easy and fast data streaming from/to embedded devices peripherals in parallel to control messages

  • Translates also devices into UDP and Web devices with python API interface and jupyter integration

  • Device sharing (forwarding) from one IDM to another IDM instance for remote support, debugging and integration

  • Data recording of all messages, with aggregated (math) queries from N-similar devices (i.e. fetch total energy sum from 100 devices)

  • Severity messages and direct integration with syslog for 24/7 monitoring system

  • Device GUI with full descriptive (web) view, detailed parameters view, real-time scope, history table view

  • Web/JS application for remote monitoring and control, with chart view

  • MQTT Integration, per variable assignments

  • Hardware interfaces: serial, USB, bluetooth

  • Network interfaces: TCP/IP, UDP, web devices

  • USB and Serial Bootloader support for Cypress PSoC4 and PSoC5 families

  • It’s free to use, provided as a supporting tool for ISOTEL products
