Developer’s Description

By Flachmann & Heggelbacher
Monitor communication between serial devices or test serial communication of one device.

Docklight RS232 Terminal--RS232 Monitor is a development tool for serial communication protocols (RS232, RS485/422 and others). Docklight allows you to monitor the communication between two serial devices or to test the serial communication of a single device. Key functions include: Simulating serial protocols; Logging RS232 data; Detecting specific data sequences; Responding to incoming data. Docklight allows you to monitor the communication between two serial devices or to test the serial communication of a single device. Docklight can send out user-defined sequences according to the protocol used and it can react to incoming sequences. This makes it possible to simulate the behavior of a serial communication device, which is particularly useful for generating test conditions that are hard to reproduce with the original. Docklight has also been successfully tested with many popular USB-to-RS232 converters, Bluetooth COM ports, and Embedded Development tools that appear as a virtual COM port in Windows.

Uses own milliseconds timestamp provider and high-priority mode for best in class monitoring accuracy, supports Docklight Tap / EZ-Tap USB data taps.
