Extending Frontline Products
Frontline Test Equipment has a long history of fully supporting all Bluetooth® profiles. Many profiles are supported before the specifications are even fully written. That support has worked well with BR/EDR but Bluetooth Smart™ is a much faster moving technology. we fully support all profiles being developed through the Bluetooth SIG but what about proprietary work being done outside the auspices of the governing body?
Frontline offers the developer the ability to extend the Frontline product by using DecoderScript™ . Some features of this capability are:
- Access to exactly the same development platform used by Frontline for its own decoders.
- A fully developed and easily learned decoder language.
- Ability to extend the decoder language with C++ methods.
- Custom code can be kept proprietary. That is, the custom code lives in its own directory.
- Custom code is "future proof". Proprietary code will automatically load in any new version of Frontline products.
- DecoderScript code can be used across the full Frontline product line.
