simulated devices.
Package Specification
As a support for the developer, the PalCom toolbox also contains a
small framework for simulated devices. Those are Java
programs that run on a desktop machine, with graphical
representations of the hardware of a device. Code written using the
device framework can be run in simulated devices first, before
deploying onto real devices. That gives advantages in terms of
easier debugging, and easy creation of multiple devices for testing
purposes.
A simulated device is a Swing
window that represents the hardware of a device, and which is
coupled to a running AbstractDevice. Simulated devices can be used for
trying out PalCom devices and services without the need for real
hardware, and with the possibility of simulating user interaction.
The abstract class AbstractSimulatedDeviceGUI is intended
to be used as the base class for a simulated device.
