Press Release Summary = Monitor serial data exchange between serial devices and any Windows application.
Press Release Body = Serial Com Port Monitor displays, logs and analyzes all serial data exchange between serial devices and any application. This tool is ideal to monitor serial communication, all data that was sent to and received from serial RS232/422/485 port, all events that were sent to port by an application and the status of these events. Different types of monitored data representation, easy to navigate and customizable interface supplemented with flexible com port configuration and terminal emulation mode make Serial Com Port Monitor the best choice for professional developers. You will be able to monitor, track, log and analyze the work of any application or serial device. Serial Com Port Monitor connects to a com port, opened by any application or hardware and starts monitoring it. From now on, all the data that goes through the monitored port will show in this monitoring tool. Everything is captured in real-time, so you can track down problems immediately. Moreover, you can redirect all the monitoring data to the defined file or you can copy all recorded data to a clipboard. Serial Com Port Monitor gives you the ability to intercept and record all serial input/output control codes (IOCTLs), tracking their full details and parameters. After the monitoring period is over, you can save the session and load it next time whenever you need it. Also, Serial Com Port Monitor provides you with the ability to send data of various formats: string, binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, mixed. More than that, you can change the type of data being sent immediately without closing the session. The same way during one session enabled, you can modify serial port settings, such as stopbits, flow control, parity control, data bits, highlighting, etc. whatever you need to follow the work of serial port. Serial Port lets you choose monitoring filters, thus saving your time and letting you track down only those events you are interested in. Serial Com Port Monitor presents data that goes through monitored serial port in four different ways: table view, line view, dump view, terminal view. They all show different amount of information about monitored port and in different way. Choose the one that fits your needs the most, or just use all four of them to gain the full picture of serial communication. You can send any data to monitored serial port as it was sent on behalf of monitored application using terminal mode feature of Serial Com Port Monitor. Thus you can follow the reaction of the serial device being monitored on some special commands. Serial Com Port Monitor is an indispensable tool for sniffing all data that is sent to and received from serial port, which aims to assist programmers and beta-testers, quality-control engineers, peripheral software developers, OEM development and test engineers, system integrators, field service and maintenance engineers, industrial control and SCADA design engineers
