LabView Projects
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share all the LabView Projects, posted on our blog. These LabView projects are entirely designed by the TEP team and I hope they will help you in some way. Rite now the list is quite small but I am gonna post more tutorials and projects related to LabView soon. So, keep visiting or subscribe us via email so that you get these exciting tutorials straight to your inbox.
Moreover, LabView is really a difficult software and it really took us a lot of time in designing these projects so other blogger are more than welcome to share our projects on their blog but do mention the respective link from where you copied as a favor. I am gonna share the complete list here. The benefit of doing this is that it will also organize the projects and you guys can get all of them in one place. So, anyways, let's get started with LabView Projects.
LabView Projects
First of all, you should read these basic LabView Tutorial. In these tutorial, I have given the Introduction of LabView and have explained from very basics how to start working with LabView. So, I would suggest you if you are new to LabView then read these LabView tutorials one by one:
Getting Started with LabView

New LCD Library for Proteus
Update: Here's the latest version of LCD library: LCD Library for Proteus V2.0.
Hello everyone, I hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new LCD Library for Proteus. We all know about LCDs, used for displaying data in embedded projects i.e. sensor values or indications etc. Proteus already have LCDs in it but they are not much good-looking. So, I designed two new LCDs in Proteus that look identical to real-world LCDs.
So, I am going to share these LCD libraries in today's post. I hope you are going to enjoy them as they will add some uniqueness to your project.
I have also used these new LCDs in different projects so if you wanna see these LCDs in action then you should have a look at LCD Interfacing with Microcontrollers. In this tutorial, I have shown how to interface it with Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and 8051 Microcontroller. So, let's get started with this New LCD Library for Proteus:
- Here's a video explaining the above tutorial in a better form:
Note:
- Other Proteus Libraries are as follows:
New LCD Library for Proteus
- First of all, what you need to do is to download this new LCD Library for Proteus by clicking the below button:
New LCD Library for Proteus
- In this package, you will find two files named:
- LCDLibraryTEP.LIB
- LCDLibraryTEP.IDX
- Now place both of these files in the library folder of your Proteus software.
- Now in the component search section, you need to make a search for LCDLibraryTEP or you can also search LCD 16x2 or LCD 20x4, whichever you wanna use.
- Now you will find two components as shown in below figure:
- Now place both of them in your workspace and they will look like something as shown in the below figure:
- Aren't they looking more pretty now ??? :)
- So, that was the idea to make them look more alive. They are working perfectly as I have tested them.
- So, now let's test them with the Arduino board.
- I am going to run a simple program from an Arduino board on both of these LCDs.
- Let's design a simple circuit as shown in the below figure:
- Now upload the below Arduino code in your software:
#include
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8);
void setup() {
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(16, 2);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.setCursor(1,0);
lcd.print("www.TheEngineering");
lcd.setCursor(4,1);
lcd.print("Projects.com");
}
void loop() {
}
- Now get the hex file from Arduino software and upload that hex file in your Proteus software.
- After uploading the hex file, run your simulation and if everything goes fine then it will look like something as shown in the below figure:
- Now you can see both are working correctly. Now you can use them like normal LCDs but with a more realistic look.
So, that's all for today. I hope you guys will enjoy this New LCD Library for Proteus. Moreover, you should have a look at this tutorial where I have used this LCD Proteus Library, named: Display ADC value on LCD using Arduino. So, will meet you guys in the next tutorial soon. Take care and have fun !!! :)
How to Measure Frequency using Arduino
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share on How to measure Frequency using Arduino board. Its quite a simple tutorial but is an essential one especially when you are working on some power related project. Because in Power projects, you have to measure the frequency of AC voltages. I was working on a project in which I have to do dimming of AC Lamp so in that project I have to measure the frequency of AC signal.
I have designed this project using Arduino UNO and have simulated in the Proteus software, which you all know is my favorite simulating software. :) The code is also quite simple which I have given below for download. The simulation is also included in download package but again I suggest you to design it on your own. If you got into any trouble then ask in comments and I will try to resolve them. Anyways let's get started with How to measure frequency using Arduino.
How to Measure Frequency using Arduino ???
- You can download the simulation for this frequency measuring by clicking the below button:
Download Project Files
- Now let's design this project in Proteus. So, first of all, design a simulation as shown in below figure:
- The small block attached with the pin # 2 of Arduino is a frequency meter.
- We can create any kind of frequency signal using this component.
- If you double click it then its properties will open up where you can change the frequency as shown in below figure:
- You can see in the above figure that I have setted the Clock Frequency to 2000 Hz.
- Now, let's design the programming code for this project. So, paste the below code in your Arduino software:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(13,12,11,10,9,8);
long freq, tempo;
int pulsos;
boolean pulso;
void setup() {
pulso=HIGH;
pinMode(2,INPUT);
lcd.begin(20, 4);
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print("Frequency =");
lcd.setCursor(1,2);
lcd.print("www.TheEngineering");
lcd.setCursor(4,3);
lcd.print("Projects.com");
}
void loop() {
tempo = millis();
if(digitalRead(2)==HIGH)
{
if(pulso==HIGH)
{
pulsos = pulsos + 1;
}
pulso=LOW;
}
else{
pulso=HIGH;
}
if(tempo%2000==0){
freq = pulsos/2;
lcd.setCursor(12,0);
lcd.print(freq);
lcd.print("Hz");
pulsos=0;
}
}
- Now using the above code, get your hex file from Arduino software and upload it in your Proteus software.
- Now once you are done then run your simulation and if everything goes fine then you will get results as shown in below figure:
- Now you can see the LCD is showing the same frequency as we set in the properties of the frequency meter.
- The code is quite simple, I don't think it needs any explanation but if you get into sme trouble then ask in comments.
- The below video will show you this project in detail:
So, that's all for today. I hope now you know How to measure frequency using Arduino. So, will meet you guys in the next tutorial. Till then take care !!! :)
Interfacing of GPS Module with Arduino in Proteus ISIS
Hello Everyone, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to interface GPS Module with Arduino in Proteus ISIS software. Recently, I have shared this amazing GPS Library for Proteus, using which you can quite easily simulate your GPS Module in Proteus software. Today, I am going to interface this GPS Module with the Arduino UNO board and will simulate the result in Proteus software. I am going to use TinyGPS Library and will get Longitude and Latitude out of this GPS Module.
So, if you are new to GPS and you haven't yet installed the GPS Library for Proteus, then you must first download that library and install it. I am using Arduino board in today's tutorial but you can use any other microcontroller as well like PIC Microcontroller or 8051 Microcontroller. So, let's get started with the Interfacing of GPS Module with Arduino in Proteus ISIS. I have explained this project in detail in the below video:
Interfacing of GPS Module with Arduino in Proteus ISIS
- You can download the complete Simulation along with Arduino Code by clicking the below button, but as I always suggest, design it on your own so that you learn the most out of it.
Download Project Files
- So, design a simulation in your Proteus software as shown in the below figure:
- As shown in the above figure, I have used Arduino UNO along with GPS Module.
- I have used a Virtual terminal to show values getting from the GPS Module.
- So, I am getting data from the GPS Module via the RX pin of Arduino and then sending this data to Serial Terminal via TX pin.
- Now, the next thing you need to do is to upload the below code to your Arduino board:
#include <TinyGPS.h>
TinyGPS gps; //Creates a new instance of the TinyGPS object
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.print("Simple TinyGPS library v. "); Serial.println(TinyGPS::library_version());
Serial.println("Testing GPS");
Serial.println("Designed by: www.TheEngineeringProjects.com");
Serial.println();
}
void loop()
{
bool newData = false;
unsigned long chars;
unsigned short sentences, failed;
// For one second we parse GPS data and report some key values
for (unsigned long start = millis(); millis() - start < 1000;)
{
while (Serial.available())
{
char c = Serial.read();
//Serial.print(c);
if (gps.encode(c))
newData = true;
}
}
if (newData) //If newData is true
{
float flat, flon;
unsigned long age;
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon, &age);
Serial.print("Latitude = ");
Serial.print(flat == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flat, 6);
Serial.print(" Longitude = ");
Serial.print(flon == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flon, 6);
}
Serial.println(failed);
// if (chars == 0)
// Serial.println("** No characters received from GPS: check wiring **");
}
- Now you can see in the above figure that we have our Latitude and Longitude.
- This Latitude and Longitude will not change because we have added the dummy values in our GPS module.
- So, that's how you can quite easily simulate your GPS module with Arduino in Proteus ISIS.
If you have any questions then ask in the comments and I will try to resolve them. Take care. :)
Gas Sensor Library for Proteus
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new Gas Sensor Library for Proteus. I hope you guys are going to enjoy this one. We are all well aware of Gas Sensors which are used for the detection of different gasses in the atmosphere. These sensors are not available in Proteus so that's why I have designed a library using which now you can use these different gas sensors quite easily in Proteus software. You can interface this Gas Sensor with any Microcontroller i.e. Arduino, PIC Microcontroller or 8051 Microcontroller etc.
In this Gas Sensor Library for Proteus, I have added eight different Gas Sensors, which are used for the detection of different gases. As we all know that Proteus is a simulating software so it won't be able to detect the gas in real in Proteus. So, that's why I have placed a Test Pin in each of these sensors so when you make this pin HIGH, then it means the gas is present and if this Test Pin goes LOW then it means there's no gas available and sensors will give LOW output. We will have a look at How to use these sensors below. You should also have a look at the project LPG Gas Leak Detector using Arduino in which I have used this Gas Sensor MQ-2 with Arduino. So, here's the list of all eight gas sensors, I have added to this library:
- MQ-2 Gas Sensor
- MQ-3 Gas Sensor
- MQ-4 Gas Sensor
- MQ-5 Gas Sensor
- MQ-6 Gas Sensor
- MQ-7 Gas Sensor
- MQ-8 Gas Sensor
- MQ-9 Gas Sensor
So, let's start with downloading and installing of Gas Sensor Library for Proteus.
Note:
Other Proteus Libraries are as follows:
Gas Sensor Library for Proteus
- First of all, download the Gas Sensor Library for Proteus by clicking the below button:
Gas Sensor Library for Proteus
- Once you download the file, you will get a rar file so unrar it and you will find three files in it, named as:
- GasSensorTEP.LIB
- GasSensorTEP.IDX
- GasSensorTEP.HEX
- Place all these three files in the Library folder of your Proteus software.
Note:
- Now open your Proteus software or restart it, if it's already open.
- In the components section, make a search for Gas sensors as shown in below figure:
- Now place all of them in your workspace and they will look something as shown in the below figure:
- So, these are all the Gas Sensors available in this Gas Sensor Library for Proteus.
- You can see all of these sensors have four pins on them.
- Two of these pins are Vcc and GND while the third is OUT Pin.
- Test Pin is used for simulation purposes, when you have HIGH on Test Pin then it means that you have Gas in the atmosphere and your sensor will give HIGH as well on the OUT Pin.
- So, let's check out how to use these gas sensors. So, take any of these sensors and design a small circuit as shown in the below figure:
- Now before running your simulation, one thing you need to do is to double click this gas sensor and open the Properties.
- In Properties, you will find a Program file section. In this section browse for the GasSensorTEP.HEX file, which we just downloaded above and placed in the library folder of our Proteus software.
- Now run your simulation, and when you turn the logic state HIGH then you will see the OUT Pin will also go HIGH as shown in the below figure.
- You can plug this OUT Pin of your Gas Sensor in your Microcontroller e.g. Arduino, PIC Microcontroller etc.
- So, that's how you can quite easily simulate this Gas Sensor in Proteus ISIS.
- Here's the video in which I have demonstrated this library in detail:
So, that's all for today, I hope you guys have enjoyed this Gas Sensor Library for Proteus. You should have a look at LPG Gas Leak Detect using Arduino in which I have designed its Proteus simulation. I will also share its tutorial with PIC Microcontroller soon. I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks.
DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus
Hello everyone, today I am going to share a complete project which is DS1307 Arduino based digital Clock in Proteus ISIS. In this project, I have designed a digital clock using Arduino UNO and DS1307 RTC Module. So, first of all, if you haven't yet installed then, you should install Arduino Library for Proteus using which you will be able to easily simulate Arduino baords in Proteus. Along with Arduino Library you will also need to install DS1307 Library for Proteus, which I have shared in my previous post as we are gonna use this RTC Module DS1307 for designing our digital clock.
So, now I hope that you have installed both these libraries successfully and are ready to design this DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock. I have given the Simulation and Code for download below but as I always advise, don't just download the files. Instead design your own simulation and try to write your own code. In this way, you will learn more out of it. So, let's get started with DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus ISIS:
DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus
- You can download the complete Proteus Simulation along with Arduino Code by clicking the below button.
- You will also need DS1307 Library for Arduino, which is also available in this package.
Download Project Files
- Now, let's get started with designing of this DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock.
- So, first of all, design a circuit in Proteus as shown in below figure:
- You can see in the above figure that I have used Arduino UNO along with RTC module, LCD and the four buttons.
- These four buttons will be used to change the year,date etc as mentioned on each of them.
- Now here's the code for DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock.
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <DS1307.h>
#include <Wire.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(13,12,11,10,9,8);
int clock[7];
void setup(){
for(int i=3;i<8;i++){
pinMode(i,INPUT);
}
lcd.begin(20,2);
DS1307.begin();
DS1307.setDate(16,4,7,0,17,50,04);//ano,mes,dia,semana,horas,minutos,segundos
}
void loop(){
DS1307.getDate(clock);
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Time: ");
Print(clock[4]);
lcd.print(":");
Print(clock[5]);
lcd.print(":");
Print(clock[6]);
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print("Date: ");
Print(clock[1]);
lcd.print("/");
Print(clock[2]);
lcd.print("/");
lcd.print("20");
Print(clock[0]);
if(digitalRead(7)){
clock[5]++;
if(clock[5]>59) clock[5]=0;
DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
while(digitalRead(7));
}
if(digitalRead(6)){
clock[4]++;
if(clock[4]>23) clock[4]=0;
DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
while(digitalRead(6));
}
if(digitalRead(5)){
clock[2]++;
if(clock[2]>31) clock[2]=1;
DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
while(digitalRead(5));
}
if(digitalRead(4)){
clock[1]++;
if(clock[1]>12) clock[1]=1;
DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
while(digitalRead(4));
}
if(digitalRead(3)){
clock[0]++;
if(clock[0]>99) clock[0]=0;
DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
while(digitalRead(3));
}
delay(100);
}
void Print(int number){
lcd.print(number/10);
lcd.print(number%10);
}
- Now get your hex file from Arduino software and then upload it in your Proteus software.
- Now run your simulation and if everything goes fine, then it will look like something as shown in below figure:
- Now you can see its today's date in the LCD and the same is shown over on the small pop up of DS1307 Clock.
- Now the time will start on ticking and the buttons will used to change the minutes hours etc.
- You will get the better demonstration of this project in the below video.
So, that's all for today. I hope this projects DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock will help you in some way. So see you in next post.
Circuit simulator and PCB design software - EasyEDA
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new circuit simulator and PCB Design software named as EasyEDA. You guys all are well aware of Proteus software which I share quite a lot on my blog for Circuit simulating. No doubt Proteus is quite a cool software but recently I got a chance to work on this amazing EasyEDA software. And I must admit that its better than Proteus software because of its cloud based EDA tools. Yes you have read correctly, in order to use this amazing software, you don't have to do anything you just need to create an account online and start designing your PCB designs. All your designs will be saved online so you dont have any tension about where to save your files. :)
EasyEDA is a free, zero- install, cloud-based EDA tool, designed to give electrical engineers, educators, engineering students and electronics hobbyists an Easier EDA Experience. It is easy to use circuit design, circuit simulator and PCB design that runs in your web browser. I will post more about it in my coming posts i.e. How to use this software and How we can get benefit out of it, but today we are gonna focus on its main feature so that you know more about this wonderful PCB design software named as EasyEDA.
Features of PCB design software - EasyEDA

DS1307 Library for Proteus
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's post, I am going to share a new DS1307 Library for Proteus. Recently, I have shared the GSM Library for Proteus, which was really appreciated by the readers so I got quite excited and have designed another new Proteus Library. Currently I am working on many Proteus Libraries. In future, I am gonna design almost all the sensors in Proteus. So stay tuned with us.
Anyways coming to today's post, today we are gonna have a look at DS1307 Library for Proteus. Using this library, now you can quite easily simulate DS1307 module in Proteus in a quite stylish way. ;) I have designed it in red color because its available in red color in market. DS1307 module is already available in Proteus but that one is quite basic and it looks quite dull. The one designed by our team looks quite attractive and is also easy to use. I will post its tutorials soon in which I will interface it with Arduino and PIC Microcontroller. You should also have a look at DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus. So, let's get started with DS1307 Library for Proteus:
DS1307 Library for Proteus
- First of all, download the DS1307 Library for Proteus, by clicking the below button:
DS1307 Library for Proteus
- Now, when you click this button you will get a rar file so unrar this file and in it you will find two files named as:
- RTCModuleTEP.IDX
- RTCModuleTEP.LIB
- Place both of these files in the library folder of your Proteus software.
- Now restart your Proteus software or open it.
- In the search component bx, search for RTCModuleTEP or DS1307 and place it in your workspace.
- If everything goes fine then you will get your RTC Module DS1307 as shown in below figure:
- That's it, now you have the ready to use DS1307 module in Proteus.
- You need to add a crystal oscillator between X1 and X2 pins while the remaining are used for I2C Protocol, which is a common protocol for RTC Modules.
- I will also post a tutorial in which I will interface this RTC Module with Arduino or PIC Microcontroller and then you will get a better idea of how to use it.
- If you design some project using this DS1307 Library for Proteus then do share it with our community so that others could also get benefit out of it.
So, that's all for today. You should also have a look at these New Proteus Libraries for Engineering Students. I hope you are gonna enjoy this DS1307 Library for Proteus. If you have any suggestions or feedback then do let us know in comments. Till next tutorial, take care and have fun!!! :)
Send SMS with SIM900D in Proteus ISIS
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new exciting post on Send SMS with SIM900D in Proteus ISIS. In my previous post, I have shared the new GSM Library for Proteus, which is the first ever designed library for Proteus, and I am quite excited while sharing its features. So, today, we will use this GSM Lirbary for Proteus and we are gonna send sms with Sim900D module available in that library. We are gonna design this whole project in Proteus ISIS.
If you wanna implement it on hardware then you must have a look at Send SMS with SIM900D module with Arduino which is designed in real hardware but today we are gonna just do the simulation part. Iam not gonna use any Microcontroller today. Instead I will just send the AT commands through virtual Terminal and we will make it work.So, let's get started with Send SMSM with Sim900D in Proteus ISIS.
Send SMS with SIM900D in Proteus ISIS
- First of all, I assume that you have already installed the GSM Library for Proteus. If you haven't then first intall it because without this library you can't use GSM module in Proteus ISIS.
- Next thing you need to do is to design a circuit as shown in the below figure:
- Now we need to run the simulation, so run it and in your virtual terminal, send these commands as shown in below figure:
- The first AT command is for testing our GSM module and as it has given OK in reply so it means its working correctly.
- The second command AT+CMGF=1 is for converting our GSM module to text messages, which it has accepted correctly and has given us OK in reply.
- Now we are ready to send our SMS.
- So, in order to do that we have to send it the command, as shown in below figure:
- Now you can see, when I have given it the command which is AT+CMGS="+923326062060" , it has accepted it and replied back with this sign ">" , now the GSM module is actually asking for the message body.
- So, let me write some text and then when I enter the Cntrl+Z command then it will send the message as shown in below figure:
- So, I have given it the text of my blog link and then when I entered Cntrl+Z then it has sent the SMS and replied me back with +CMGS: 01 means its the first SMS sent from this GSM module.
- So, that's how you can send any nmber of messages as you want from this module.
- AS its a simulation, so obviously you are not gonna get the actual message on your mobile number but you can use it for testing your codes.
- In the next post, I am gonna hopefully implement it using Arduino board or PIC Microcontroller.
So, that's all for today, I hope you have enjoyed the Send SMS with Sim900D in Proteus ISIS software. Till next tutorial, take care and have fun!!! :)
GSM Library for Proteus
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's post, I am going to share GSM Library for Proteus. Yeah you have read absolutely fine, today I am gonna share the most awaited and most demanded Proteus Library. :) Till now, I have received hundreds of suggestions and requests about this Library and I have always told them that its under designing process and I will post it real soon. So finally the wait is over and we have our new GSM Library for Proteus, ready to download and simulate in Proteus. Using this GSM library for Proteus, now you can easily simulate your GSM module in Proteus and can test your code. :)
As its the first version of our GSM Library so its not complete or perfect. It is really the basic model of GSM Library and rite now it will only support some commands, which I will post below. I am still working on it and I will soon update these files and will add more commands in it but till then you have to use these commands only. Moreover, this Library contains only one module in it which is SIM900D module. I will add more soon like SIM900A and Sim300 etc. real soon. I will also interface it with different Microcontrollers like Arduino or PIC Microcontroller etc. and will share their tutorials. So. let's get started with GSM Library for Proteus:
Note:
Other Proteus Libraries are as follows:
GSM Library for Proteus
- First of all, download the GSM Library for Proteus by clicking the below button:
GSM Library for Proteus
- When you download it, you will get three files in it which are:
- GSMLibraryTEP.IDX
- GSMLibraryTEP.LIB
- GSMLibraryTEP.HEX
- Place all these files in the Libraries folder of your Proteus software.
Note:
- Now, open your Proteus software or restart it if its already open and in components list search for SIM900D and you will get three results for it.
- Place all of them in your Proteus workspace and they will look like as shown in below figure:
- Now, you can see in the above figure that we have three GSM Modules in our Proteus software.
- These three GSM modules are exactly same in functionality as you can see they all have two pins on them which are TX and RX and they are only differ in color but they all work on Serial Port.
- One is in light blue color which is kind of our theme color, next one is in green color while the last one is in red color.
- So, now let's have a look at how you can use it in your Proteus simulations.
- Double click any of them and in the program file section, browse to the GSMLibraryTEP.HEX file and upload it in SIM900D module as shown in below figure:
- AS you can see in the above figure that I have uploaded the GSMLibraryTEP.HEX file in the Program file section.
- Now click OK and interface a Virtual Terminal with SIM900D, as shown in below figure:
- Now, I am gonna run my simulation and will send it AT commands we will check the response of this GSM module. :)
- Now these are some basic commands, which are rite now supported by this version of GSM Module.
- It won't be able to send or receive SMS rite now because these functionalities are not added yet but they are coming soon, as I am still working on it.
Note:
Here's the complete list of commands currently supported by this Sim900D module:
- AT
- AT+CPIN?
- AT+CSQ
- AT+CGMI
- AT+COPS?
- AT+CGMM
- AT+CGSN
- AT+CNUM
- ATA
- ATH
- AT+COLP
- AT+CLIP
- AT+VTS=1
- AT+CSMP?
