For full system visualisation, telegrams shall be allowed to pass the line coupler. To this end, a dummy device is inserted in the ETS project. It contains all the Group Addresses required by the visualisation system. The ETS takes the Group Addresses from the dummy device into account when creating the filter tables.
Fill VisualizationDummy helps you to link a dummy device in the ETS with a list of Group Addresses for a visualization.
Product data for dummy devices can be obtained from several manufacturers.
The information about the group addresses can be read either from a file (different formats are supported), or the group addresses can be selected from the current ETS4 project by drag and drop.
The ETS App Function Test supports you in function test / acceptance of a finished KNX project:
GAMMA Converter App is used to exchange applications of Siemens products automatically.
It expands the basic functionality of the GAMMA Converter Tools with the feature, to exchange the application within the ETS automatically.
Therefore the App uses for converting the data the KNX Converter Libary of Siemens, which can be downloaded for free.
The exchange of applications is possible in case of a single product or from more products to one product.

The Griesser GPA (Griesser Protocol Analyzer) app can decode, record and save KNX bus telegrams of the type 6-byte Griesser object. The GPA app works as a supplement to the Bus or Group Monitor integrated in the ETS. The Griesser GPA app must be launched separately from the Bus or Group Monitor and simultaneously records all KNX telegrams. As it does so, the Griesser object telegrams are recorded in decoded form. The GPA app offers the same functions as the Bus and Group Monitor except that it interprets the proprietary Griesser 6-byte object and decodes the sectors, the priority and the command.
Griesser offers innovative configuration options. Using a tile system, functions are «stacked» according to their priority. This is similar to the list of priorities in a requirements specification.
Despite the high degree of flexibility, no programming language has to be learned because the intuitive tiles are configured in the predefined and tested scope. Each tile also contains «its own» communication objects and specific settings options.
After successful configuration, the functionality can be tested online and the individual statuses of each tile can be graphically visualized.
