MDB Toolchest

Overview

The Qibixx MDB Toolchest is a Java-based Software Application which serves as an invaluable tool for diagnosing, simulating and testing MDB Peripherals or VMC's.

The Software can accurately catch and decode MDB Communications when paired with the Qibixx MDB-USB Interface. Sub-ms time stamps allow to understand exactly which block had been sent by whom on the MDB Bus.

Various simulation functions allow the MDB Toolchest to impersonate a VMC or a Peripheral for testing purposes.
