Serial Port Monitor with Advanced Features to Read COM Port Data

The key features of the software

Serial Port Monitor is chock-full of advanced features and here are just some of them:

• Analyzing COM port data

  Anytime you need to read data going via a particular serial port, you can connect to it with advanced Serial Port Monitor even if the port has already been opened by another program. The software will capture data in real time and show it in one of its viewing modes (or all of them at a time, if necessary), so you can immediately compare and analyze it.
  
  What's also nice is that the software allows copying the captured data to the clipboard or redirecting it to a file. This way, for instance, you can read and save serial input/output control codes (IOCTLs) with full details and parameters.
• Sniffing multiple ports at a time

  Another thing that you can find extremely useful about the program is its ability to sniff several COM ports simultaneously. With this unique option, you can check how your serial app communicates with multiple interfaces or devices at a time within one monitoring session. Plus, the received and sent data will be recorded into a single log using the first-in first-out method, which is especially convenient for data analysis.
• Presenting data in different viewers

  Without a doubt, the availability of four different data visualizers is one of the program’s advantages over other similar solutions. Serial Port Monitor Windows 10 solution can display data in table, line, dump, terminal mode, or all of them simultaneously. You can choose between the modes depending on your goals. Each visualizer has its benefits. For example, the Dump view displays data in hexadecimal and string formats, whereas the Table view presents the table consisting of the recorded IRPs, etc.
• Emulation of sending data

  Using the terminal mode feature, you can emulate sending serial data to the sniffed port. The port will recognize data as though it were sent by a particular application. This way you’ll get the ability to track the reaction of required devices to special commands and data. Serial Port Monitor supports string, binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, and mixed data formats.
• Support for Modbus protocol

  Serial Port Monitor works with Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols. In addition to Modbus data, this program will let you read and record communications with RS485/RS422/RS232 devices and apps.

• Session playback feature

  With Serial Port Monitor Windows 7, 10, you can resend data received from a particular serial application to the port one more time. This method will let you check if your monitoring results are precise as you’ll be able to review COM port’s behavior on receipt of the same serial data. Above that, the differences between the monitoring sessions can be displayed automatically, thanks to the outstanding capabilities of the software.
