<div class="markdown_content"><p>Thank you for the answers. I attempted to install and try the Test Manager, however, it appears that Lenze version of the programming software does not coexist with Test Manager on the same computer. I will most definitely review the scripting option.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello Thomas,</p> <p>you may want to take a look at the Test-Manager (<a class="" href="https://store.codesys.com/codesys-test-manager.html" rel="nofollow">https://store.codesys.com/codesys-test-manager.html</a>), which should do the trick for you!</p> <p>Best regards,<br/> Marcel</p></div>

I would really like to do this without having to reverse engineer the the communications with a packet sniffer.</p></div>
