Abstract
A protocol emulation system including at least one description that describes fields, using a generic format, in a protocol message. An application transforms the at least one description into a machine-readable template useable by a protocol finite state machine that creates protocol messages based upon the template
Claims20
A protocol emulation system comprising:
- at least one description that describes fields, using a generic format, in a protocol message;
- an application that transforms the at least one description into a machine-readable template;
- and
- a protocol finite state machine that creates protocol messages based upon the template.

A method for controlling a protocol emulator, the method comprising:
- creating a description of the structure of data for controlling the protocol emulator, the description being formed using a language generic to a plurality of protocols;
- creating a reference model of the data structure using the description;
- creating an instance of the reference model with at least some user provided data;
- using the instance to create a template to which the protocol emulator is responsive for creating protocol messages;
- and
- transferring the template to the protocol emulator.

A method of controlling a protocol emulator, the method comprising:
- creating an XML description of at least one message used by the protocol emulator;
- presenting a user with a graphical display of the description;
- permitting the user to adjust values in a plurality of fields of the description;
- and
- creating a template for controlling a protocol finite state machine based on the description and the values as adjusted by the user.
