The VbTdrv Project

VbTdrv is the Visual Basic version of the Tdrv test program. See Testing with Tdrv for details on VbTdrv's features and operation.

VbTdrv is distributed as a complete Visual Basic project consisting of the following files:

VbTdrv Project Files
VbTdrv.vbp
VbTdrv.vbw
Visual Basic project files.
VbMain.bas VbTdrv entry point.
VbTdrv.frm
VbTdrv.frx

VbAbout.frm
VbAbout.frx
About box form.
VbTdat.frm
VbTdat.frx

VbText.frm
VbText.frx

Hex.bas Hex format and byte conversion routines.
Statistics.bas Statistics formatting routines.
Status.bas Status Report formatting routines.
Tdat.bas Test data frame handling routines.
Using.bas Using VbTdrv text access routine.
Vtx.bas Verified transmission (Vtx) frame handling routines.

The VbTdrv project also uses Laygo32.bas and X21bis.bas.

Just double-click VbTdrv.vbp to load the project into Visual Basic. VbMain.bas contains Sub Main() where program execution begins.

By default, the VbTdrv project contains the command-line arguments:

stack6.cfg x21loop.cfg

This instructs VbTdrv to use the LayGO hardware emulation driver in loopback mode. You can change which configuration files are loaded by editing the Command Line Arguments field on the Make property sheet in Visual Basic's Project → VbTdrv Properties... dialog.
