Eddy Utility Program

SystemBase’s self-developed utility programs COM Port Redirector, PortView and TestView are designed for fluent performance of Portbase, Eddy and Wicomm.

  • The COM Port Redirector, which is able to COM-communicate by creating a virtual COM-Port on the controlled PC, can still be used on former control programs controlled by COM-Port.
  • PortView, designed for remote monitoring device products, can monitor components needed for function such as status information, serial port status and serial data’s debugging.
  • TestView, designed for testing each serial communication products, has a wider range of testing communication by it’s ability to communicate in TCP/UDP Server-Client mode as well as COM communication.
  • SNMP is also provided enabling easy monitoring and management of devices connected to a network.

SystemBase commits to long-term end-of-life expectancy for Eddy modules

SystemBase does not have any obsolescence plan for Eddy v2.1 series yet.
Moreover, SystemBase to produce Eddy v2.1 series for at least 5 years from their respective launch date.

SystemBase commits to a minimum end-of-life expectancy for Eddy v2.1 series as follows:

  • Eddy v2.1 series : not before 2014

Should you need an even longer EOL expectancy, please contact Trenz Electronic.
