Serial Port Monitor

If I could go back and change anything, I would’ve used Serial Port Monitor much sooner. I would’ve saved hours of troubleshooting with other products that lacked many features this software has.

I strongly recommend Serial Port Monitor, I’ve been a Linux specialist for years, and it’s been a great addition to my workflow. It has a port “sniffer” which identifies any open ports on Windows OS.

I think this is a great software for developers in the freelance industry. Anything that saves time is a must. Serial Port Monitor helps me manage multiple SP communications, and is very user-friendly software.

I’m Dag Hoven, and I am one of the owners of Penguin Programs. I graduated with a Master’s in Engineering Physics M. Sc and then transitioned into programming over thirty years ago.

I was in need of a reliable and convenient SPM due to my career writing numerous programs that required serial ports with external instrumentation. Modern programmers now use USBs in tandem with COM-port drivers. My issue was with programs (like synching programs for smart-phones, as an example) which latch onto COM-ports and cause the communication to fail.

I wanted to be able to communicate to the users that they can’t open COM-ports because they’ve already been opened by another program; then being able to advise them to close their programs or change the COM-port that they’ve assigned before making another attempt with Active X.

After Google searching through copious amounts of “not quite what I was looking for’s”, I ultimately chose to download Serial Port Monitor because it could be installed onto Active X- which was EXACTLY what I wanted. I’m really glad to have found this company, as they seemed to be the only providers of such a powerful and feature-filled SPM. Their easy to set-up software and intuitive UI made it a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to using it again in the future.

I love tracking data flow with Serial Port Monitor. I work in engineering, and precision and efficiency is kind of a big deal. I get both with SPM software
