Abstract
A method for testing protocol converters is presented, which permits the achievement of a test of all commands, independently of a corresponding test system. A modified protocol converter itself is used for the test. With the help of this method, a test for conversion of data structures can be carried out, of a slow protocol into the corresponding data structures of a fast protocol in the original speed.
