Serial Port Monitoring Software
Monitor and analyze all serial port activity
Serial Port Monitor
Send data to COM port and analyze reaction of the serial device.
Install Serial Port Monitor and track all data flows from any software/hardware that works with a serial port. In other words, Serial Port Monitor is a powerful system utility for monitoring the usage of serial ports, exploring OS work, tracking down problems in system or application configurations and processes.
Serial Port Monitor allows you to:
- Send data to serial COM port
- Modify serial port`s settings and data you want to send immediately
- Capture data in real-time mode
- Analyze the work of any application or serial device
Common objectives and our solutions:
- Emulate data sending to serial device
You can send any data in strings as well as in other different numeration systems (binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal) to monitored serial port as if 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. Specify sending data format and begin monitoring serial port activity. Port Monitor lets you change input data stream parameters and easily modify COM port settings (stopbits, flow control, parity control, data bits, highlighting, etc.).
- Monitor and analyze Serial Port activity
It monitors, displays, logs and analyzes all serial port activity in a system. Serial Port Monitor is attached to a COM port, opened by any application or hardware. All the data that go through the monitored serial port will be displayed in this monitoring tool. - View and Filter monitored data
Serial Port lets you choose monitoring filters, thus saving your time and letting you track down only the events you are interested in. Serial Port Monitor can process all standard serial I/O Control requests and other major functions including IRP. Both (IOCTLs and IRPs) can be filtered in Serial Port Monitor.
Serial Port Monitor offers several viewers for more comfortable and reliable monitoring process:
- Table viewer - it presents the table consisting of the recorded Input/output Request Packets;
- Line viewer - features detailed information about each request passing UP/DOWN the monitored serial port;
- Dump viewer - displays sent and received data in hexadecimal and string formats as a data dump;
- Terminal viewer - works as the text console showing all the received data as ASCII characters.
