       SIMATIC S7-300/400  Ethernet Tester, English Version 1.50 Beta (FREEWARE)
 ======================================================================================

 Simple portable application for testing, diagnostic machinery - reading various data
 areas from  PLCs SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-300/400 via Ethernet protocol ISO on TCP (RFC1006).
 It's an helper tool for SIEMENS STEP7 / TIA Portal users.


 Accessible S7 PLC data areas:
 -----------------------------
  - PI: Periphery Inputs
  - I:  Inputs
  - Q:  Outputs
  - M:  Markers (Memory)
  - DB: Data Blocks
  - C:  Counters
  - T:  Timers


 PLC data are displayed in two independent data tables and interpreted
 in many formats simultaneously:
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - HEX:     Hexadecimal Byte(s)/Word(s)/DWord(s) - vertically in data table
  - CHAR:    ANSI Text/String Character(s)        - vertically in data table
  - BIT:     Bits[7..0] of each Byte
  - DEC:     Decimal Byte(s) Unsigned         (1 Byte)
  - WORD:    Decimal Word(s) Unsigned         (2 Bytes)
  - INT:     Decimal Int(s) Signed            (2 Bytes)
  - DWORD:   Decimal DoubleWord(s) Unsigned   (4 Bytes)
  - DINT:    Decimal DoubleInt(s) Signed      (4 Bytes)
  - REAL:    Floating Point Number(s)         (4 Bytes)
  - S5TIMER: BCD S5Timer Word(s)              (2 Bytes)
  - COUNTER: BCD Counter Word(s)              (2 Bytes)

 PLC data length in each data table is selectable (1 to 16 bytes).
 Data tables can be copied to Clipboard (TAB delimited, UNICODE text). 

 STEP7 Symbols/Comments export files (SEQ) are supported (max. 4095 symbols).  
 Symbols are displayed as toolTips in data tables.


 Running application SysTray icon:
 ---------------------------------
  - Left mouse click show app window
  - Right mouse click / minimize button hide app window


 S7 PLC Search function:
 -----------------------
  - PLC S7-300/400 network search (multithreaded IP scan, no broadcast)
  - OS support for over 100 parallel connections is required,
    for Windows XP SP2/SP3 patched TCPIP.SYS driver (TCPIP HALF OPEN LIMIT FIX)
