Advanced serial port monitoring
Serial 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 COM 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 Port Monitor the best choice for professional developers.
Eltima Software offers two types of licensing policy: Standard and Professional editions of Serial Port Monitor
With Serial Port Monitor you can:
Monitor, track, log and analyze the work of any application or serial device
Serial 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 com 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.
Read captured data in different ways
Serial 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.
Emulate data sending to serial device (PRO)
You can send any data to monitored serial port as it was sent on behalf of monitored application using terminal mode feature of Serial Port Monitor. Thus you can follow the reaction of the serial device being monitored on some special commands.
