Monitor communication between real equipment

[bariskarkar]

There are real BC and RTs in the system. I want to monitor the communication between them. The LV-222-555-555 card supports BM, but there is nothing related to this in the custom device. As a solution, I thought about adding a simulated BC and adding the messages I want to monitor to the simulated BC, without adding them to the frames. This way, when a real BC sends a RT to BC message, the RT will respond to it and the simulated device I added will read it. However, I'm not sure if the custom device is constantly doing a read or just doing a read after a send. Will this idea solve my problem or should I take a different approach? If I can make it work like BM this way, what should I write in the scheduleIDRef section in the HW file? I can't create an empty frame. Would adding all the messages I want to monitor to a frame and writing 'loop count 1' solve my problem or should I create a dummy message and send it to solve my problem?
