Open Source Serial Software

This application is a ASCII-based data scope. When used with a 'spy' cable such as the CBL-Full-1A product from www.commfront.com this progrmam shows the ASCII chars on both sides of a comm link. There are three main tabs on the user interface. The 'Vertical' tab displays the comm link conversation in a vertically-scrolling half-duplex mode. Each 'side' of the conversation is detected by the user-configured 'start msg' and 'end msg' byte sequence. The 'Horizontal' tab shows bytes, one at a time, as they are received on each side of the link so the relative timing relationships can be monitored. Printable ASCII chars are shown. Non-printable are shown with a '0x' prefix. The two sides of this link referred to as 'Port 1' and 'Port 2'. Each side must communicate at the same baud rate. Each side can have its' own start message and end message character configurations. A log tab where state and error messages can be reviewed.
