For terminal emulator replacement the top choice would be an emulator that is current (i.e., runs on the latest MS Windows OS releases and looks like it will be supported for technical assistance in the foreseeable future) and runs ASPECT script directly (though I'm guessing that ASPECT is proprietary and therefore direct porting of current scripts to another emulator is highly unlikely). While I'm not a scripting whiz (really a hardware guy), I'll be handling any new script writing necessary to automate software loading with the new emulator (the more c-like or java-like scripting language, the better).Īll of the production test/programming stations at our contract manufacturers currently run Windows XP, but we may upgrade to Windows 7 some time in the future. Because the latest release of Procomm Plus (version 4.8) is a 10-year old product and was not targeted to run on Windows XP and beyond, because Symantec no longer supports the product and because we want get current with our tools, I've been tasked with locating a Procomm Plus replacement.

I was told that our company brought in a contractor to write those scripts many years ago. For the various software loads needed on the main circuit board during the 'programming' production phase, we use Procomm Plus and several ASPECT WAX scripts. I work for a company engaged the design and manufacturing of WIFI wireless access point products.
