RS232 Data Logger by Eltima Software is an Open Source application which allows you to redirect all communication data from RS232 compliant serial port device into a text file for further analysis. RS232 Data Logger redirects data from any available serial port (doesn t matter whether it is virtual or real one) and works under Virtual Machine (VMWare). You can gather data from multiple serial ports simultaneously.
All data recorded as a text can be further analyzed. For instance, you may parse global positioning data (coordinates) from GPS device connected to your notebook via serial port to track your movement; or you may simply investigate and learn how serial ports work.
Features:
- redirect incoming data stream into a text file form any number of serial ports simultaneously
- select the file to redirect incoming data to for each port
- real-time counter of the received and stored bytes
- collect data from the real serial ports as well as from virtual ones
- disable/enable logging on-the-fly
- append incoming data to already existing file
- specify serial port connection parameters (baudrate, parity, stop bits, flow control, databits)
- source code is provided (MFC/C++ VC7.1)
- works under Virtual Machines
