17.4 Software Applications and Networks
Tidal Engineering has developed several software packages designed to work with environmental chambers
over various communication protocols.
Section 8.3 Communications: Software Applications
software packages and illustrates several methods for configuring communication networks.
17.4.1 SimpleComm Communications Software
The Tidal Engineering SimpleComm application is an all in one communications package designed to be
used with Synergy Controller environmental chambers. It provides a simple terminal interface for sending
and receiving commands over: RS-485, RS-232, IEEE 488 and TCP/IP.
The Synergy Controller supports over 130 unique commands, allowing for complete control and monitoring
of your chamber from a remote location. You can find the Synergy Controller command set at the beginning
of this section or on the Tidal Engineering website www.tidalengineering.com. Navigate to the Synergy
Controller page and look under the general information section for the Synergy Controller Communications
Commands PDF file. The Communications Command Set is a table of all the available communication
commands. The source code for the SimpleComm utility is also available on the web site for users who
would like to develop their own Visual Basic based communications programs. The source files are located
on the Synergy Controller page and are linked to under the Downloads section.
Installing SimpleComm
Insert the setup disk in the CD drive of your PC. Through your windows explorer, find the D drive (where D
is your CD drive) and double click on the setup.exe file. Alternatively, you may select Start / Run from your
desktop. Type “D:\setup” and hit Enter. Follow the directions on the screen.
Connecting SimpleComm
The method of connection depends on the desired mode of communications. RS-485 and RS-232 use serial
cables, IEEE 488 uses a 488 cable and TCP/IP used network cables such as CAT5. .
