Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX Control

Take full control of data flows, replacing and substituting them within the created virtual port

Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX Control can monitor data flows, and moreover, edit them. It creates additional virtual COM port in the system with the same name as the monitored serial port.

All data that is sent to and from serial port goes to the virtual port created by this component and is being logged into special, defined document. You can substitute data chunks with the data of your own, thus influencing the process of COM port sniffing.

This real-to-virtual/virtual-to-real data transmission chain can slow down the process of data interchange a little. But in this way Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX Control gives you the ability to take part in data monitoring, not just watching the data pass to and from port.

Common objectives and our solutions:

  • replace data being sent between port and application with your own commands

Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX gives you the ability to influence the monitoring process. As all transmitted data is intercepted in the virtual port, created by our component, you can easily substitute it with any data characters and commands of your own to get deeper into the monitoring process.

  • monitor data flows between COM port and application

With Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX you will be able to fully monitor data flows between application and serial port. It gives you the possibility to detect control lines changes, handflow, baudrate and ring state changes, and track timeout updates. Serial Port Sniffer Components methods allow you to check whether the port is being sniffed, open the serial port to be sniffed and close the port after sniffing.


  • take full control of all signal lines

All signal lines (DTR, RTS, CTS, RTS) are supported. Moreover, the component's events include all of these lines state changes.

Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX Control is:

  • A unique ActiveX control that lets you fully monitor serial port activity
  • A regularly updated component that can track serial port communication directly from your application
  • Com port monitoring tool that works directly from application without being detected
  • A component that helps programmers develop software for monitoring serial com ports communication
  • An indispensable ActiveX Control that not only passively monitors data exchange, but also allows data substitution

Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX Control is aimed to assist:

  • System integrators
  • Serial software developers
  • Peripheral software developers
  • OEM development and test engineers
  • Serial port monitoring applications developers

Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX Control overview:

  • Monitor and edit serial data streams directly from your application
  • Wide selection of supported events, methods and properties
  • Full support of control lines (DTR, RTS, CTS, RTS)
  • Usage examples for Microsoft VC++ and Microsoft Visual Basic included
  • No reboot required during installation and implementation

Testimonials

With your Serial Sniffer component really helped us out. We were developing a software, that had to be able to monitor serial ports and how they act on different data. With your activeX that was much easier to do than without. We were amazed by the quality of your serial sniffer component.
