Serial Port Monitor

I was quite familiar with the standard communication signal known as the RS232 Standard, and how this signal only deals with the data communications from computer to another computer, but what I was mainly curious about was how to find out where the COM1/DB9 serial port was being utilized with a PLC application.

This was important to me, being in the PLC industry, and wanting to find a way of tracking the data transferred from computers to other industrial instrumentation equipment. Thankfully, after a bit of searching, I found the exact tool to help me do that in the form of the Serial Port Monitor.

Mainly used for RS232, 422, and 485, I find SPM software is ideal for automation engineers, specialized in several industries, looking to improve their work-flow and efficiency.

I’m so happy I found this software, it’s very easy to set-up, and the User-interface is sleek and unobtrusive to deal with. Serial Port Monitoring software gives me the freedom to keep track of multiple serial port communications- and even record them for later use.

If you’re an engineer, a software developer, hardware developer- so on, I can’t recommend the Serial Port Monitor enough.

Thanks for making such a helpful tool!

I often work with digital serial ports, and such products are my go-to. Serial Port Monitor has a cool “sniffer” function that locates open serial ports, as well as letting you record data.

I like that Serial Port Monitor lets you track and record multiple serial port communications at once. Being able to save data collected for later is really helpful when troubleshooting and debugging

My name is David, and I’m an electronics hobbyist. I wanted to share my experience using this awesome Serial Port Monitor when I was developing a gadget for the personal computer industry.

It started when I was in need of a software that could record activity on a PC serial port. The specific project involved the use of a Microchip PIC device that could receive mobile phone SMS messages, and then send a response back to the original sender.

This was when I discovered Serial Port Monitoring software. This awesome, intuitive SPM helped with monitoring and saving the messages flowing between the software and the mobile phone, as well as then monitoring and saving the messages transferred between the PIC and the phone.

While I had tried other products, none of them could compare to the ease of use and pleasant UI that I experienced with Serial Port Monitoring. Without this awesome product, I would have never been able to analyze the important facets of my mobile phone communication software.

I can’t wait to create many more projects in the future with the help of Serial Port Monitor- and the other products they provide that I’m eager to try.

I’m Jon Kinne, and I evaluated navigation programs for sailing on behalf of CustomWare, a company that develops an extensive selection of systems and software for many different applications.

While working on the navigation program, I couldn’t figure out whether the program was correctly connecting and disconnecting from the serial ports. It was very important that I knew the IRP’s time sequence without losing it amidst the massive volumes of data I was working with overall.

I had previously been using Serial Port Driver and liked it, so I decided to try their Serial Port Monitor after seeing it on their website.

It was one of the best decisions I made. Thanks to the SPM, I was able to appropriately filter the data, and handle numerous data streams moving through the navigation program on multiple serial ports.

Serial Port Monitor made it possible for me to quickly and easily see the operations across several serial ports carrying data to the navigation program. Without them, I don’t want to think about all of the time I would have wasted trying to diagnose issues that SPM helped me identify in moments.
