For gaming manufacturers developing gaming products using the new Best of Breed (BOB) and System to System (S2S) open standards, Digital Dynamics is demonstrating new data scopes to greatly facilitate software and protocol communication development. The data scopes enable developers to easily capture and analyze the following protocol communication layers: TCP/IP, HTTP, SOAP, and S2S/BOB. The data scopes help engineers easily view and dissect all the communications traffic on the slot floor network. The data display can be refined with filters to focus only on specific data that is desired to be reviewed and analyzed.
The message builder tools for the BOB and S2S communication protocols helps software developers quickly construct and validate gaming communications messages to ensure compliance with the GSA's open standard protocol specifications. Developers can use the point and click message building interface to create a BOB or S2S message and send it to the desired recipient. Combined with the data scopes, developers will have incredibly useful tools to facilitate their BOB and S2S software development and protocol compliance testing.
