Hello Anders

Yes we did. Sercosiii is dissected in parts but not complete. After CP2 State 
there is no dissection in Detail. To dissect in CP3 or higher you must have the 
configuration of the system. There was a previous implementation but this was 
checked in but it didn’t make it to get in to the official version because the 
Code was not good enough.
There are two ways to get the configuration.

1. Capture the startup of the system and learn the communication offsets by 
listing the traffic during CP0 to CP2
2. Give Wireshark a Sercos Configuration File that contents the communication 
parameters

My friend is doing the first point
My task is to do the second one

Regards Andreas
