Serial Com Port Monitor
$69.95 - COM Port Software

Serial Com 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 is sent to and received from serial RS232/422/485 port, all events that are 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 Com Port Monitor the best choice for professional developers.
You will be able to 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 port will show in this monitoring tool. Everything is captured in real-time, so you can track down problems immediately.
You can also redirect all the monitoring data to the defined file or you can copy all recorded data to a clipboard. Serial Port Monitor gives you the ability to intercept and record all serial input/output control codes (IOCTLs), tracking their full details and parameters. After the monitoring period is over, you can save the session and load it next time whenever you need it.
Also, Serial Port Monitor provides you with the ability to send data of various formats: string, binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, mixed. More than that, you can change the type of data being sent immediately without closing the session. The same way during one session enabled, you can modify serial port settings, such as stopbits, flow control, parity control, data bits, highlighting, etc. whatever you need to follow the work of serial port. Serial Port lets you choose monitoring filters, thus saving your time and letting you track down only those specific events you are interested in.

232Analyzer
$99.9 - CommFront Technologies

Software RS232/RS485/RS422/TTL Serial Port Monitor / Terminal / Protocol Analyzer / Debugger - control, monitor, debug, log, spy, sniff, capture, view, analyze, and test serial ports activity.

It allows communication logging (c/w timestamps in millisecond) between serial devices using serial ports (with optional monitor/control cables and rs232/rs485/rs422/TTL converters), no more expensive hardware protocol analyzer is required. Besides monitoring capability, controlling (debugger, terminal emulator) a serial device becomes a simple task, such as PLC, Modbus, SCADA, etc.

Besides all data formats (Hex,Dec,Oct,Bin,AscII), line state control, flow control, macros, CRC Checksum Calculator are included, which make controlling sophisticated and time sensitive device a simple task.

232Analyzer allows you to control serial devices right from your PC. It supports data input and monitoring in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary and ASCII formats. It also allows you to change / monitor RS-232's line states: RTS, DTR, CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI. All data and signal flows are logged in the Communication Window, which can be saved as .txt, .doc or .rtf files for further analysis.

232Analyzer comes with many advanced features, such as:
1) Being able to Monitor Communications between serial devices with timestamps in milliseconds;
2) Programmable Buttons: Send up to 32 commands with a button click;
3) Auto-Response: Automatically respond to incoming data / signals;
4) Macros: Up to 64 steps of Logic and Timer processes for handling sophisticated serial devices;
5) Checksum Calculator: Advanced checksum bytes calculator.

232Analyzer is useful for controlling, testing, developing, and debugging serial devices, control software and firmware. It is widely used in industrial and commercial control and automation systems. Our clients include: NASA, Boeing, Siemens, Honeywell, Schneider Electric, AT&T, Alcatel, Cisco, Panasonic, Hewlett Packard, etc.

COM Port Toolkit
$29 - Michael Golikov

COM Port Toolkit is an integrated serial communications testing toolkit. It sends user's data to and receives one from a device and records all transfers to a log. You can test equipments serial communications protocol by hand: feed it input, check the output.

You can write or use a script written by other developers to automate some specific tasks: CRC calculations, special transfer rules, outgoing data modifications and etc. COM Port Toolkit's scripting language is an enhanced, C-like programming language, including if, else, for, do and while constructs and the usage of user defined functions. It combines the power and flexibility of conventional programming languages with functions specifically developed for use with the COM Port Toolkit software. Some scripts you can find in an application's examples directory.

COM Port Toolkit can capture serial communications between the device and the software by using special serial port driver. So COM Port Toolkit acts as a software protocol analyzer in this mode.

COM Port Toolkit works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000/XP operating systems.

Serial Port Terminal
$39.95 - ELTIMA Software GmbH

Advanced Serial Port Terminal is a session-based, multi-purpose application that provides simple communication interface to connect to any serial port device (modem;fax;GPS;mouse;printer and so on). Whether you want to connect to remote computer using null-modem cable, send or receive various types of data (ASCII string, binary, octal and hexadecimal) over a serial line, redirect input or output data streams into a specified file, monitor data exchange between serial devices, troubleshoot and test modem settings, Advanced Serial Port Terminal by Eltima Software is just for you. Advanced Serial Port Terminal allows you to open as many serial ports as you like (including virtual serial ports); dynamically change serial port settings without necessity to close and reopen current port; adjust baudrate, databits, parity, stop bits, flow control parameters; save all received bytes into a file for later analysis and lots more. Being a session-based tool, Advanced Serial Port Terminal allows creation of options set and saving them under individual session names for different hosts. Unlike other terminals you may not only send, but also receive and view data in hexadecimal format, switch between dump and terminal view modes, etc, which could be very useful for debugging and testing serial port connections. Highly customizable interface lets you easily customize program interface to your taste and needs.
