ChargeView helps you to monitor and debug e-mobility chargers using the O-Chip protocol. O-Chip stands for Open Charger Interaction Protocol. O-Chip allows chargers to send their data (status, metering values, error logs) to any receiver. It was designed by the SBRS GmbH in Germany to monitor larger depots with chargers for electrical busses. O-Chip is using the UDP protocol to transport the data as a JSON text file. With ChargeView you can receive O-Chip telegrams, dump there contents or display the content in a backend view. Contact Bytelovers or the SBRS GmbH for a free copy of the O-Chip specification. Features: - Monitor O-Chip telegrams - show the telegrams as ASCII dump - show the content of the telegrams in a backend view
