RS232 Recorder. Record and analyze data from a serial port

2020-06-16T06:53:33.762Z

Serial Port Monitor is an advanced software solution for monitoring and recording COM port data. With this efficient serial data recorder, users get full control over what data is sent and received by their system serial ports. Serial Port Monitor is the optimal solution for those who are developing, optimizing or testing serial drivers, hardware, applications, etc. This monitoring solution lets you easily spot serial port issues arising in the system and solve them at once.

Convenient filtering and search options provided by the solution will help users find valuable information in a matter of seconds. Plus, the software RS232 serial data recorder offers built-in terminal and useful data exporting capabilities. Serial Port Monitor is a friendly software tool used without any complex additional hardware.

Serial Port Monitor interface

Serial Data Recorder Software provides users with a unique feature set:

Analysis of COM port communications

It’s no problem if the required COM port is already opened by another app, the software will easily access the port and start monitoring it. Even better, all captured data will be available in the software interface in several views. This way, you’ll be able to see the synchronized highlighting of similar IRPs in different formats which is particularly helpful for data analysis and comparing.

With software powerful features, you can receive information on the performance of your serial applications in real-time, and immediately detect where problems occur. More than that, the software RS232 recorder makes it possible to capture serial port data to a file and save recorded information to the clipboard. Complete details and parameters of all input/output control codes (IOCTLs) can also be intercepted and saved.

Recording multiple ports at a time

Serial Port Monitor provides a way to sniff several COM interfaces and record data transmitted through them within one session. That means you are able to collect all the necessary information about the simultaneous interaction of your applications with several COM ports or devices. With that, the software will use first in, first-out the method to save all captured data to a single log.

Different viewing options

Serial data recorder software allows visualizing COM port communications in real-time and provides four viewing modes to see captured data. There are a table, line, dump, and terminal views. Each data visualizer represents one format of data display. For instance, binary and ASCII data, as well as port settings are available in dump mode. This visualization approach enables the software users either to see and compare serial data in four monitoring views at once or choose one mode best suited to their needs.

Emulation of data exchange

Another aspect that sets Serial Port Monitor apart from other monitoring solutions is support for terminal mode. With this useful option, you can simulate sending data from a monitored app to a monitored COM port in the string, binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, mixed data formats. This makes a lot of sense when there’s a need to check the reaction of a particular COM port peripheral or program to some kind of data.

Modbus sniffing

What makes life easier for many developers is the software capability to catch Modbus data. Both Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols are supported by COM Port Data Recorder.

Session playback

To obtain the most accurate monitoring results, you can use a convenient session playback feature. This option lets repeat sending of received data to the same port again. Best of all, the differences between sessions can be shown automatically.

Shared Serial Ports. Share real serial port in your system

This application Serial Port Splitter is an all-round tool with which you can conveniently split a COM port among multiple applications and all of them will get exactly the same data at the same time.

The interesting thing is that each application will interact with a dedicated virtual port but in fact, they are all sharing the same serial port. Shared Serial Ports doesn’t just share ports, it also merges several serial ports into one port, splits a shared rs232 port into multiple ports, redirects data from one COM port to another COM port, creates a complex bundle of Serial ports, and of course works with both real and Virtual COM ports.

In addition to the features mentioned above, Serial Port Splitter log all activities taking place within the shared port. That is, you can keep tabs on things like which program opened the COM port and exactly what parameters of the port were accessed.

Virtual Serial Port Driver Pro interface

With Serial Port Splitter you can

Share one port for many applications

Serial Port Splitter has the capacity to duplicate a shared rs232 port into several virtual COM ports. That is from a real COM1, you can obtain COM 2, COM3, COM4, till infinity. The created virtual ports are carbon copies of the real port in the system and will be treated as such by the application using it. On the other hand, it is also possible to split a real port with a device attached to it between several programs without creating virtual COM ports. Data transmission will remain precise and unchanged.

Merge Several COM ports into a single port

Multiple rs232 ports can be joined together to create a single virtual port with Serial Port Splitter. This allows data transmission from numerous devices to one program connected to the single port that is NOT part of the bundle.

Bundle to Bundle connection

It is easy to manage and organize complex bundles of COM ports using Serial Port Splitter. You can set up a connection between a limitless number of real port bundles and virtual port bundles in both directions of data transmission (Incoming and Outgoing) with ease.

Apart from that, there is also an option to set Main Port for each side (Incoming and Outgoing). This helps manage control lines of the reciprocal serial port.

Manage serial ports data transmission lines

Hardware signal lines like (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, RING, ERROR, DCD, and so on.) can be controlled using Shared Serial Ports. Virtual COM ports created by Serial Port Splitter emulates and is compatible with hardware data transmission lines. That allows you to determine what goes to where when sharing Serial Port.

Automatic switching sports

The latest version of Serial Port Splitter came with a special feature called Switcher. What switcher does is that it permits automatic determination of a free COM port from the list of Specified ports, so you can assign it to the application in need of it at the moment.

Port switcher provides an optimized performance environment for those programs that work with a limited number of ports only. Here you simply specify one virtual COM port in the program and create a switcher for this specific port. After that, the program will automatically work with any free COM port assigned to it by Shared Serial Ports as if it has been working with the same port all along.

Create an unlimited number of serial ports

With Virtual Serial Port Driver PRO allows you to create as many pairs of virtual serial ports as you need. Any data sent to one port in the pair is momentarily received by the other port. Virtual COM ports fully emulate real ones, so that applications don't see any difference.

Ports merging

The new feature of Serial Port Splitter will help you easily share serial data flows between an unlimited number of real and virtual COM ports joined into a single serial port bundle. The bundle is not divided into ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ sides, which means every serial port added to it can communicate data with all the other COM interfaces at a time.
