Software and hardware developers often need to analyze serial port sessions to evaluate the performance of an application or device. Comparing monitoring sessions conducted under different conditions provides useful troubleshooting information and identifies changes in functionality.
Serial Port Monitor enables users to replay previously logged data from a specific COM port. This feature saves time and facilitates the accurate analysis of serial data in various scenarios.
This guide describes how to configure the software and perform a session reproduction using Serial Port Monitor.
Here’s what you should do:
1. In the Session menu, select ‘Reproduce session’ and configure the parameters as you need:
- Choose a COM port to use in the session.
- Decide whether to send requests to this port on behalf of a serial app or reproduce the data previously written to the port by a serial device.
- Select whether to set time intervals between data packets.
- Specify Read/Write timeouts.
2. Once done, click ‘Start’.
