COM Port Toolkit is a protocol, data, and timing analyzer designed specifically to help isolate problems with serial (RS-232/422/485) data communication control networks. COM Port Toolkit is an indispensable test tool for industrial control and SCADA design engineers, OEM development and test engineers, system integrators, field service and maintenance engineers. The product enables shorter and less costly development intervals for serial communications Equipment, improved mean-time-to-repair following equipment.
You can use this program for implementing, debuging or reverse-engineering serial protocol. The program can send and Capture ASCII and Hex data. Split data option helps to format received data. You can change communications chanel's settings easily including setting of non-standard baudrate.
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. Internal scripting language is an enhanced, C-like programming language, including if, else, for, do and while constructs and the usage of user defined functions.
The program can capture serial communications Between the device and the software by using special driver. So the program acts as a software protocol analyzer in this mode. This feature is available under Windows 9x, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista.
Main features:
* serial port monitor functionality;
